XANTHI v IRAKLIS
Wednesday 18th January 2017 – Kickoff: 1615hrs
Football – Greece – Super League Betting Tips
Third placed Xanthi could lift themselves up into second place in the Greek Super League at the expense of Panionios who have to travel to PAS Giannina, and tonight’s hosts have shown some solid results in recent weeks as they’ve lost just once in their last 13 league matches.
That rare defeat came in the shape of a 2-0 loss at home to league leaders Olympiakos, but six wins from their last seven matches overall has given Xanthi a great chance at a crack at european football next season.
Xanthi’s home record stands at their SKODA Xanthi Arena stands at 3-2-2 6/5 but within this modest record, the hosts have kept four clean sheets so far this season and they’ll fancy their chances of another shut-out this afternoon I daresay.
Bottom club Iraklis seem to have been cast adrift of the rest of the league as they now sit four points adrift of second from bottom club Veria, and five points behind Levadiakos who hold the safety position of 14th place in the Greek Super League.
Iraklis have managed to record just one league win all season in the Greek top flight which was a 2-1 home win over PAS Giannina, but aside from that rare success, it’s been a wretched season for the club from Thessaloniki, and they look set for the Greek Football League next season.
In addition, a poor away record of 0-2-4 2/10 which includes having lost their last four away matches on the trot hasn’t done them many favours with defeats suffered at PAOK, Panathinaikos, Levadiakos and Panaitolikos – where the visitors failed to score in each of these four losses.
Pick: Xanthi to win @ 1.48 Ladbrokes
