Date: Sun 29.September
Match begins: 14:00 (UTC)
Venue: Xanthi FC Arena (7442 seats)

Only a few games have been played in the Super League so far, with Xanthi placed 4th and Volos NFC sitting in the 5th position.

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.

It's quite the trip for Volos NFC when visiting Xanthi as the cities are 900 kilometers apart.

Xanthi form and stats

The hosts won their first Super League game here at Xanthi FC Arena, lifting spirits. Home statistics for Xanthi last season were 5 wins, 4 draws and 6 losses from 15 games.

The fans are hoping that Xanthi will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-3 away loss in the Super League game against Larissa (placed 8th). Previous to that game, a home match hosting Asteras Tripolis in a game that was won 2-1.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent.

Xanthi has scored 2 goals so far and conceded 1 goal from 1 home game. These are numbers from the league only.
