Game Prediction
Monday will bring quite a few football events – it is, in principle, pretty typical for this day. As a result, it is a reason to have a closer look at not the most popular tournaments, such as the Greek Super League, where the calendar year starts with a busy schedule. The new week will begin with a confrontation between OFI and Lamia. The analysts of the website have made their own version of the prediction for the match on January 8, 2024.
OFI has shown little in its entire history
“The Black and Whites”, however, started in tournaments on their native island, Crete. Taking into account the decades of performances in general Greek tournaments, there were only 2 appearances in the cup finals, where the debut one, in 1987, was successful – the team took the trophy. And then the quite authoritative, albeit regional, Balkan Cup was added in two years. As for the championship, there were only average results, such as 7th place at the end of the previous draw. This time, the team is also at approximately the same level, taking on average a point per match. At the same time, it is reasonable to mention that the lion’s share of the points was collected in the first 8 rounds, when it lost only once (the team has mostly lost since the end of October). Moreover, there happened a defeat with a 0-4 score made by PAOK.
Lamia was able to improve its performance in this rally, but lost as the draw progressed
“The Blue and Whites” were only in 12th place in the previous championship. Perhaps the “trip” to the cup, where the team managed to reach the semi-finals for the third time in history, took too much energy. This time, there are a lot of interesting players in the squad, even if they have already passed their peak. Alan Dzagoev was injured again soon after his debut, and eventually ended his career. Still, Zoran Tosic, Samuele Longo, Sidcley, and a number of Spanish footballers are still doing their job. They got off to a good start and won three times in a row in October. And since November, there have been only isolated defeats, with plenty of draws. On the other hand, the club surprised everyone with a victory over Olympiacos, albeit with a 1-0 result.
Previous head-to-head matches
Lamia won only 1 time in 11 previous head-to-head matches. Taking into account this background, a 2-2 draw in the summer, even at the home arena, is a comparative success.
