Panetolikos vs OFI Crete Prediction: Can Panetolikos finally win this season?

In the 6th round of Greece Super League winless Panetolikos will welcome always unpleasant and difficult opponent, OFI Crete. The hosts started this season very bad, in 4 matches played they are winless and managed to score only a goal. The visitors can be pleased with their form, however, matches against Panetolikos never were easy for them in the past.

Form: LLDDW

Panetolikos are one of the three teams in the league without a win. They are in the last,14th place on the table with 2 points from 4 matches, 2 draws, and 2 defeats. They conceded 9 goals and scored only one, and in the last two matches, they were defeated heavily twice, by Aris as visitors 3:0 and by Panathinaikos in this stadium 5:0. In this match they are hoping to end that run, to get at least a point and to score a goal. However, they will be missing some players like Sebastien Mladen, Michalis Bakakis and Angelos Tsigaras. 

Form: DDDWL

OFI Crete on the other hand started the season really well. They are in 5th place with 2 wins, 2 draws and a defeat. In the last 2 matches, they played a draw, so now they will be looking for a win which will be their first this season in an away match. They have every right to hope for a win as they have 3 wins in a row in this stadium against Panetolikos. They don’t have major issues with missing players and the manager V. Dambrauskas can count on all important players.

Considering everything, current form, head-to-head stats and the atmosphere in the teams, OFI Crete are slight favorite here. It should be very tough match with a lot of fouls and interceptions of the game, so I think that we won’t see many goals in it. OFI are expected to dominate and dictate the tempo of the game, however I think Panetolikos can at least get a point in their stadium.
