OFI Crete Prediction
OFI Crete currently occupy one of the relegation spots in the Super League following a heavy 4-0 defeat away at runaway league leaders PAOK last time out, but they now return to home surroundings for this important Thursday night clash with Atromitos.
The hosts have recorded mixed results in recent weeks as they’ve registered wins against Panathinaikos and Panaitolikos but these have been offset by defeats to Asteras Tripolis and the aforementioned thrashing by PAOK.
At home, Crete possess a home record of 3-2-3 10/10 which includes just one defeat from their last six matches which is a significant improvement upon a previous run of eight league defeats on the trot, a record that extends back into last season.
- Crete have lost just 1 of their last 6 home matches
- Atromitos won 3-0 in their last encounter with Crete
- Atromitos have failed to score in just 1 of their 8 away matches to date
Atromitos Prediction
Atromitos sit in 4th place on the Greek Super League table and occupy the last remaining Europa League qualifying spot ahead of their trip to Crete for Thursday night’s clash, well aware of 5th placed Panathinaikos breathing down their necks.
Atromitos have seen a slump in form in recent matches as the visitors have lost three of their last four with defeats to Panathinaikos, Xanthi and Lamia, while earning a point against Panaitolikos, meaning Atromitos have taken just 1 point from the last possible 12 on offer.
The visitors have also lost their last three away matches on the trot amidst an overall away record of 3-2-3 11/9 but they do have the consolation of recording a 3-0 win over Crete in their last meeting between these two clubs which was at home three years ago.
Atromitos know they must get a result at Crete on Thursday night in order to hang onto 4th spot and with their leading goalscorer Koulouris (13 goals from 16 matches), the visitors should come away with something to show for their efforts here.
Betting Tips Verdict
Crete have shown some improved performances at home but Atromitos will be keen to return to winning ways here.
