ATROMITOS v KERKYRA
Wednesday 18th January 2017 – Kickoff: 1400hrs
Football – Greece – Super League Betting Tips
Wednesday evening’s hosts Atromitos won’t be too downhearted following their recent 2-1 defeat at home to Panionios as the visitors are currently enjoying a great Greek Super League campaign and accordingly sit in second spot behind league leaders Olympiakos – but Atromitos will be keen to bounce back against struggling Kerkyra to make amends.
With just three league wins from their last nine matches overall in the Greek top flight, Atromitos have some work to do if they’re to make the top five of the league and secure a Champions League qualifier play-off position, but they’re still only one point adrift of fifth placed AEK Athens prior to this evening’s match.
A win tonight could realistically see Atromitos jump up into sixth place, but there’s no guarantees as their home record stands at a slightly disappointing 3-0-4 5/6. However, Atromitos do hold a good record at home against bottom half opposition as they’ve won both encounters so far in these situations, winning 1-0 over Asteras Tripolis and Veria.
Visitors Kerkyra find themselves fourth from bottom in the Greek Super League which is mainly due to a poor away record so far in this campaign, with all three victories they’ve gained so far coming at their Stadio Kerkyras in Corfu.
Of course, a run of six matches without a league win can also have a detrimental effect on a team’s fortunes and this has been the case for Kerkyra who have suffered recent defeats to Panionios, PAOK and Pananthinaikos.
Away from home has seen Kerkyra go seven matches without success amidst an overall record this season of 0-2-4 1/8 and failing to score in five of their six away matches to date.
Pick: Atromitos to win @ 1.55 Ladbrokes
