Season ticket holders at Pigadeia-Skoda Xanthi Arena haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Xanthi languishing in the 10th position so far. The guesting Larissa will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
It's no vacation for neither Xanthi nor Larissa 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.
Larissa have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 900 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Xanthi form and stats

Xanthi's previous game was a Super League match also played at home, ending 2-1 versus Larissa (placed 7th). The home side are looking to build on that result. Prior to that, an away loss at Asteras Tripolis.

The visitors are W2-D3-L3 on the road this term. That's in the Super League. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Larissa are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.
