Lamia

LLLLLL 🚑

Lamia won’t want a repeat of their last result here following a 3-1 Super League defeat in their last game at the hands of Panathinaikos.

In that game, Lamia managed 41% possession and 7 shots at goal with 2 on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Lamia was Vykintas Slivka (14'). Panathinaikos got 24 attempts on goal with 7 on target. Adam Gnezda Čerin (18') and Bernard (60', 87') scored for Panathinaikos.

At least three goals per game were recorded in 5 of the last 6 fixtures where Lamia have taken part. Opposing sides scored 20 of them in these games while Lamia bagged a total of 4. We will just have to see if that trend will end up being sustained into this next match.

Analysis of their past results shows that Lamia:

• have not emerged victorious against Panathinaikos when playing them at home in the previous 5 league matches.
• have not registered a win against Panathinaikos in their last 11 league matches.
• haven’t won at home in the past 4 matches in the league. Fans are getting restless.

🗞️ Team News: Lamia

The Lamia boss Leonidas Vokolos has zero fitness worries at all coming into this clash owing to a completely injury-free group to pick from.

📋 Team News: Panathinaikos

Panathinaikos boss Fatih Terim has multiple availability issues to deal with. Hördur Magnússon (Fitness), Filip Mladenovic (Ill), Bart Schenkeveld (Knee injury) and Erik Palmer-Brown (Bone marrow swelling) are names that won’t be on the team sheet.

✨ Prediction

We feel that in this game, Panathinaikos will probably be able to create a high number of chances and successful shots on target.

However, Lamia might well find it difficult to get goals of their own but we do see them scoring.

We reckon that it will be a comfortable 1-3 winning margin for Panathinaikos when the full-time whistle blows.
