Volos NFC form and stats

Volos NFC have played 7 Super League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 3-0-4 (wins-draws-losses). The home stadium (Panthessaliko Stadio) is supposed to be a fortress, but for Volos it's been a house of straw as the last four games here have all been lost. Can they turn things around?

Volos drew their last game, also a home match. Panathinaikos (placed 4th) was the opponent, 0-0 the score.

Preceding that game was the away draw at Lamia that finished 2-2.

The Volos fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 10 in 7 matches. Volos have conceded 11 from these games.

Panathinaikos form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Panathinaikos so far with only 4 points returning home. The records show 1-1-4 (win-draw-lose).

The Panathinaikos goalkeeper Alberto Brignoli is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 358 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.

The supporters enjoyed Panathinaikos's previous game versus Aris (placed 7th), a Super League 2-0 win played at home.

Ahead of that match was the Greek Cup away draw versus Volos NFC that ended 0-0.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Panathinaikos as they have only managed to score 4 times from 6 away games in the league. 6 goals have been conceded by Panathinaikos in these games.
