The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Volos NFC are in the 8th position while the guests worry at 13th.
It's no vacation for neither Volos NFC nor Panaitolikos as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Volos NFC form and stats
When playing at home in the Super League, Volos NFC, who have the most conceded goals (20) in Super League, have managed 3 wins, 0 draws and suffered 2 defeats from 5 games.
Volos NFC's previous game was a Super League match also played at home, ending 3-2 versus Panaitolikos (placed 13th). The home side are looking to build on that result. Heartbreak before that as Volos NFC lost 0-1 at Lamia's place.
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Volos NFC have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found two matches with the results: Won 1 Drawn 1 Lost 0.
The Volos NFC fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 7 in 5 matches. On the other hand, Volos NFC have conceded 7 goals.
Panaitolikos form and stats
There's been little loot from Panaitolikos's travels as they have only collected 1 point from 6 away games in the Super League. Panaitolikos only have 0 wins to counter their 5 defeats and 1 draw. The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Panaitolikos, who have now gone ten games without a victory. The PAOK game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since. Panaitolikos seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?
Panaitolikos play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 2-3 to Volos NFC (placed 8th). Preceding that match was the 1-1 draw at home vs Asteras Tripolis.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found six similar matches played by Panaitolikos in our archives, and the results are: 2 wins for Panaitolikos, 2 draws and 2 defeats.
The attacking power of Panaitolikos when travelling is not overwhelming with 4 goals scored from 6 league matches away. The Panaitolikos manager I. Chavos has some worries about the defense as 12 goals have been conceded in these travels.
