Lamia

LLDLWL

Lamia will be wanting a better result here after the 3-0 Super League defeat in their last game at the hands of Volos.

In that game, Lamia had 32% possession and 4 attempts at goal with 1 of them on target. On the other side, Volos had 18 attempts on goal with 6 on target. Lazaros Lamprou (2', 40') and Hjörtur Hermannsson (38') scored for Volos.

It’s been seldom in recent times where Lamia have shown defensive steel. It will be a concern for them that Lamia have been scored against in 5 of their previous 6 matches, leaking 11 goals along the way.

Coming into this fixture, Lamia have not registered a win against Panetolikos in their last 2 league matches.

Panetolikos

WDLDLW ⚖

Panetolikos will come into the meeting following a 1-2 Super League win with the eclipse of Levadiakos in their previous outing.

In that game, Panetolikos had 36% possession and 10 shots at goal with 2 of them on target. For Panetolikos, the goalscorers were Giorgos Liavas (39') and Andrews Tetteh (45'). At the other end, Levadiakos got 15 attempts on goal with 1 of them on target. Triantafyllos Tsapras (11') scored for Levadiakos.

It is worth noting that Panetolikos have made hard work of scoring goals over their last six games, contributing the poor return of only 4. In those fixtures, The Canaries have also seen the overall goal aggregate of their opponents equal 6. We will have to find out whether or not that trend can be sustained in this game.

⚡ Prediction

Our thinking is that Lamia will need to put in a solid display to be putting a goal past this Panetolikos outfit who we think should do enough to score at the other end and edge ahead.

We’re therefore seeing a highly competitive game with a 0-1 advantage for Panetolikos when the referee blows for full-time.

Let’s see.
