With three gameswhich are of interest for the stay but also for the play-offs/play-outs, the curtain opens on the 20th matchday in Stoiximan Super League.
Panaitolikos-Lamia
The two teams met twice in Agrinio last year, once for the last game of the regular season and once for the league Playouts, with Lamia remaining unbeaten with a draw and a win respectively.
In the 17 total games they have played between each other for the Super League in both venues, there are only four home team wins and they are divided between two by Panaitolikos and two by Lamia.
The last victory of Panaitolikos against Lamia at home is on February 16, 2022, when they prevailed 1-0 thanks to Dago’s goal. Since then, three games have followed, in which Lamia prevailed in two with 2-1 and 3-1, but also a draw with 1-1.
The dominant result in the meetings between them in both seats is a draw, since they have 8 of their 17 total encounters and there are four victories of Panaitolikos and five of Lamia.
The two teams are among the few that participate in the Stoiximan Super League and have coexisted in all professional categories in the past. Their first meeting was in the 1978-79 season for the second division, while in the 80s they also met for the 3rd National Team.
Panaitolikos this season has perfect balance at home, since in nine matches they have three wins – three draws and three losses and the goal ratio is 11-15.
Lamia away from home has recorded a win, against Asteras in Tripoli by 1-0, while they have four draws and four defeats in their other eight games.
Panseraikos-Volos
The two teams have met for the Super League only once, in the First Round encounter in Magnesia, where the Volos team won 1-0 against Panserraikos thanks to a goal by Panagiotis Moraitis.
Their past is richer in the institution of the Hellenic Cup, where they have faced each other twice, in 2019-20 in double matches and in 2021-22 in singles and Volos took both the qualification to the next phase.
The Volos team this season has one win away from home, this one against Lamia with 2-1 on December 17, 2023, while last season they managed to get six wins in their 13 matches away from home and four draws, while being defeated only three times. This season, her tally is 1 win – 3 draws and 5 losses.
Panserraikos has taken advantage of its home ground and has one defeat – against Olympiakos – in seven matches, while it has three wins and three draws.
Panserraikos comes from two away victories against Lamia and PAS Ioannina, where they did not concede a single goal, after prevailing in both matches with 2-0, while before them they had drawn 1-1 at home with Kifissia.
Kifissia-Aris
Kifisia will welcome the team against which they got the first away point in their Super League history in Kaisariani. The newcomer for the 7th matchday of the championship left with a 1-1 draw against “Kleanthis Vikelidis” in its first success, while it was followed by a 1-1 draw with Panserraikos in Serres for the 17th matchday of the championship.
Kifisia in their last two home matches have been defeated by PAOK and Olympiacos, while their last home win was on December 16, 2023, when they beat PAS Ioannina 4-2.
Aris, for its part, prevailed 4-0 in its last away game in Agrinio against Panaitolikos, while it still has an away win, this one against Volos in Magnesia with 2-0. There is also a draw in his away games this year with 0-0 in Toumba against PAOK, while he also has five defeats.
The last time Aris visited the stadium of Kaisariani was on March 19, 2003 for the Greek Cup, where they were defeated 1-0 by Ethniki Asteras. He last played there for a league match on March 3, 2002, when he drew 2-2 with Ethnikos Asteras.
