LDDWDD

In the game prior to this, Lamia drew 0-0 in the Super League tie with Asteras Tripolis.

In that game, Lamia had 38% possession and 6 shots at goal with 2 of them on target. Asteras Tripolis had 7 attempts at goal with 2 on target.

In 5 of the previous six clashes featuring Lamia, a relatively low number of goals have gone in between them and their opponents. The overall average goals scored per game during that period is a mere 1, with the number of goals averaged by Kyanólefki standing at 0.5. That sort of pattern might not be carried forward into this next game, though.

Pre-game facts show that Lamia:

• are undefeated in their last 4 league matches away from home.
• are without a win away from home in their last 16 league matches. They clearly need to do something about it.
