Asteras Tripolis vs Panserraikos Prediction: Small derby in the middle of the table

Two teams that are in the middle of Greece Super League table, but are in very bad form. Interestingly, Asteras Tripolis are winless in their 5 matches at home, while Panserraikos are winless in their 5 away matches. A win in this match can end someone’s bad run, but it will be difficult for either of them.

Form: WLWLL

Asteras Tripolis are in 8th place with 4 wins, 2 draws, and 6 defeats. They are the worst team in the league when playing on the home field with a win, a draw, and 4 defeats. Currently, they are on a streak of 5 home matches without a win, with a draw and 4 defeats. In the last 3 matches at this stadium, Asteras Tripolis didn’t even score a goal. However, in the last round, they won 3:1 against Kifisias as visitors, so the confidence in the team is improved, and everyone expects a good result from this match.

Form: LLDWL

Panserraikos are in 9th position with 3 wins, 4 draws and 5 defeats. They have 2 defeats in a row, but the situation is bad when it comes to away matches for this team. Panserraikos have 3 draws and 5 defeats in away matches this season with a goal difference of 6:20. This will be their 4th away match in a row in the league. In previous matches, they lost twice against PAOK 5:0 and Volos in the last round with 1:0 and played a draw against Atromitos 1:1. 

Asterar Tripolis are slight favorite in this match, mostly because of home field and their win in the last round. The atmosphere in the team seems much better compared to Panserraikos, and maybe it will be enough for them to finally win at home. Both teams are playing similar and have similar stats this season, so I don’t expect them to give us some spectacular match with many goals. Both managers pointed out that not losing is most important in this match and I think a draw is best prediction for this match.
