• Competition: Super League
• Date: Wednesday, 3rd January 2024

Many commentators deemed Lamia as one of the poorest performing teams in the Greek Super League, and one likely to face demotion. However, after 15 rounds, they sit comfortably in the middle of the league table. The majority of Lamia’s points were scored early in the season, as they have been unable to secure a win in their last seven matches across all competitions. In their most recent match, Lamia ended in a 2-2 draw in an away game against Aris. Despite Aris having an Expected Goals (xG) of 2.64 compared to Lamia’s 0.68, Lamia was lucky to walk away with a single point.

Olympiacos is undeniably one of the top Greek football teams. Currently, they are just three points behind the league leader, PAOK. Impressively, Olympiacos has managed to avoid defeat in their last four matches. In their most recent match, they played against Atromitos on the road and ended with a 0-0 draw. Despite having 73% ball possession and 18 shots on goal, they couldn’t score. Lately, Olympiacos has been struggling with scoring, but their upcoming game against the underperforming Lamia presents a great opportunity for them to get back on track.
