Xanthi and Olympiakos Piraeus are both riding high in the Super League with their 4th and 1st positions respectively. Expect a great game!

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

Xanthi form and stats

Xanthi must be fairly happy with 6 points from their first three Super League games here at Pigadeia-Skoda Xanthi Arena.

In their previous game, the manager Kiko Ramírez led his Xanthi to a defeat in the Super League match away at OFI. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Pigadeia-Skoda Xanthi Arena. Before that game, the home loss against Aris with the scoreline 0-1.

A decent goal production from Xanthi in their home games so far, with 5 goals from 3 league matches. On the other hand, Xanthi have conceded 3 goals.

Olympiakos Piraeus form and stats

The seven points Olympiakos Piraeus have gathered from their first three away trips in the Super League is impressive and could lead to great things if the form continues. The fact that Olympiakos Piraeus have won four matches in a row should scare the hosts and makes this contest more interesting.

Olympiakos Piraeus are travelling after their nice 2-0 home win in the Super League against AEK Athens (placed 5th). A loss against Bayern München was the result prior to that, in a Champions League home game.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Olympiakos Piraeus manager Pedro Martins as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Bayern München.

Olympiakos Piraeus have scored 4 goals on their travels this season, from 3 away games in the league. It's not easy to score on Olympiakos Piraeus as they have only conceded 2 goals from these away games.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: 0 wins for Xanthi, 3 draws and 7 wins for Olympiakos Piraeus. Over 2,5 goals: 4 times; under 2,5 goals: 6 games.
