Volos NFC form and stats

The story so far in the Super League for Volos NFC at their home stadium is 4 wins, 4 draws and 5 defeats.

A nice win for Volos last time playing, versus AEK Athens. That was also a home game and the match ended 1-0 with Anastasios Douvikas scoring for the victors. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Panaitolikos (0-1).

This is expected to be a close game, with Volos NFC perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Volos NFC as a small favourite), we find seven games. Volos NFC has won six of these, drawn one and lost zero.

Volos aren't scoring a lot here in the league, with only 10 goals from 13 games. 13 goals have been conceded.

OFI form and stats

There's been little loot from OFI's travels as they have only collected 10 points from 13 away games in the Super League. OFI, who have the most conceded goals (43) in Super League, only have 3 wins to counter their 9 defeats and 1 draw. OFI are desperate to end a eleven-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the Lamia fixture. A depressing five defeats in a row for OFI in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Atromitos.

OFI play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 0-1 to Aris. The game before that, was lost at home, a 2-3 defeat against Larissa.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with OFI playing away and similar expectations, we found nine relevant matches. Results were three OFI wins, one draw and five defeats.

The visitors have scored 10 goals from 13 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. 19 goals have been conceded by OFI in these games.

OFI - Volos NFC 1-2 was the story when these teams last met, earlier this season. Last six meetings between the teams: Volos won four, OFI won one and one draw. three games with over 2,5 goals, three matches with two goals or less.
