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.

- 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.
