OFI Crete vs Levadiakos Prediction: OFI Crete are the favorite

On Monday OFI Crete will welcome Levadiakos in a match of the 18th round in the Super League in Greece. This match is in focus because both teams started the new year with several good results, and it seems that we can expect different faces of these teams in the second part of the season. Objectives of these teams are different, while OFI Crete are trying everything to finish in the top eight, Levadiakos needs to improve the form and gain points in the regular part of the season, so they have more chances to avoid relegation in the playout phase.

OFI Crete’s last defeat was at the beginning of December when AEK won in this stadium. Ever since this team has four wins and a draw. They are in seventh place with 23 points, six wins, five draws, and six defeats. They are looking very well in the league matches as they haven’t conceded a goal in the last three matches, drawing without goals against Atromitos and winning against Volos (4:0) and Aris (0:2). They are also good in the cup as they won in the quarterfinals against second division team Panachaiki. The manager Rastavac will have some trouble composing the first lineup as Bainovic, Koutsoupias, and Riera are injured and will miss this match. However, I think that this team since Rastavac sat on the bench is playing amazing football, and I am sure that they will finish in the top eight at the end of the regular season.

Levadiakos are still one of the biggest favorites to be relegated in the end, but this team has shown some improvements recently. In the last five matches, they have two wins, two draws, and a defeat. They are in 12th place with 17 points, three wins, eight draws, and six defeats. In the last match of 2024, they drew against AEK which gave them confidence, and in the first match of 2025, they won against Panserraikos. It’s still early and they have room for improvement and moving up in the table, and I think that this team slowly grow into a team that can stay in this league. In this match, they will be without Kosti who received a red card in the last round, and Balzi who is still injured.

Expert Betting Tips

We can certainly expect an interesting and tense match between two teams that are getting in good form. In my opinion, OFI Crete are the better team and I expect of them to take control of the match and win in the end. The last two matches between these teams ended in a draw with the same result 1:1 but in this match, I expect a home win and under 2.5 goals scored. I think OFI Crete will manage to keep a clean sheet against Levadiakos in a match with a lot of tension.
