Panetolikos go into this clash following a 1-0 Super League win versus Panathinaikos in their last fixture.

In that game, Panetolikos had 29% possession and 4 attempts on goal with 3 on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Panetolikos was Delvin N'Dinga (6'). For their opponents, Panathinaikos had 7 shots on goal with 3 on target.

The forward players for Panetolikos have suffered from a shortage of goals over their last six clashes, netting the poor return of just 3. In those fixtures, The Canaries have also seen the collective goal tally of opposing teams equal 8. That kind of pattern might not be carried forward here, however.

Heading into this contest, Panetolikos haven’t won away from home in the past 11 league matches. It's not a good run at all.
