Panetolikos vs Lamia Prediction: Can Panetolikos finally win?

Panetolikos will host Lamia in a match of the 3rd round of the Relegation Group in the Super League of Greece, starting at 17:00. The hosts aren’t under huge pressure and danger of being relegated. Still, they haven’t won in the league since February, and this match against the last-placed Lamia is the perfect opportunity for them to end that bad run. Lamia, on the other hand, are already focused on the next season and are planning a huge reorganization this summer for a quick comeback in this league.

Panetolikos are 10 points above the relegation zone in 10th place. They are winless in the last five matches in the league, losing three and drawing twice. Their last win was against Athens Kallithea, at home, another team that is in this group and in a serious fight for avoiding relegation. I think that they have a good chance to win against Lamia at home and end that bad winless run. At home, they are playing more disciplined football, and in their last five matches in this stadium, they have two wins, two defeats, and a draw. They lost their last match here 2:1 against Levadiakos, and it was the only match that ended with over 2.5 goals since November. In the last round, they drew against Volos as visitors 0:0, which shows the issues they have in the attack and scoring goals.

In the first round of the Relegation Group, Lamia drew against Panserraikos 1:1 as visitors, and they were defeated in the last round against Athens Kallithea 2:0 at home. Now, they are nine points behind Athens Kallithea, who are above the relegation zone, and I think that it’s almost impossible for Lamia to reduce the gap, escape the last place, and avoid relegation. We can conclude from the announcements of their manager that they will do everything they can until the end of the season, but they are already starting to make plans to get promoted immediately next season. 

Expert Betting Tips

Considering how these teams performed in the last few rounds and their preferred tactics, I can say that Panetolikos are the clear favorite in this match. However, I think it will be a very slow match that can be decided with only a goal. It’s because both teams are struggling in the attack, and in their last five encounters, only one match ended with over 2.5 goals. In the regular part of the season, visitors were winners in both encounters, and matches ended with the same result 1:0. In this match, I expect a home win, but also under 2.5 goals scored, and I think that Lamia won’t score a goal in this match.

Our prediction for the match is a home win, for the odds of 1.85 at 1xbet.

Our second prediction is under 1.5 goals for odds of 2.37 at Bet365.

Our third prediction is W1 and under 1.5 for odds of 5 at Betway.
