Xanthi and OFI have both delivered a "par" performance so far, to use a golfing expression. Both hold mid-table positions in the Super League.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Xanthi and OFI.
Xanthi form and stats
The story so far in the Super League for Xanthi at their home stadium (Xanthi FC Arena) is 4 wins, 2 draws and 4 defeats.
Times are rough for the home team, having gone 189 minutes without scoring a league goal. F. Ferrari was the last player to find the net.
The fans are hoping that Xanthi will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the Super League game against Aris (placed 5th). Ahead of that match, Xanthi lost 0-1 at home to Panathinaikos.
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 Xanthi have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found five matches with the results: Won 2 Drawn 1 Lost 2.
Xanthi have scored 9 league goals here from 10 matches, not a lot. Xanthi have only conceded 8 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
OFI form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for OFI so far with only 7 points returning home. The records show 2-1-7 (win-draw-lose).
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Super League home defeat versus Olympiakos Piraeus with 0-1 on the scoreboard. Before that one, a nice away victory 2-1 at Panionios.
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 five relevant matches. Results were 1 OFI win, 0 draws and 4 defeats.
OFI are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 11 away goals from 10 games (in the league). Defensive performances away have varied in quality as OFI have conceded 17 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
