OFI Crete vs Lamia Betting Tips: BTTS
Undoubtedly, both competitors will be optimistic about gaining the most points on Monday. Consequently, we anticipate a lively game with defenses lowered, which should result in a flurry of goals in this intriguing contest.
Although OFI Crete had a promising start to their campaign, they have unexpectedly fallen into a slump, suffering continuous defeats. Their last successful match was on October 2nd where they managed a comfortable 2-0 win against AEK Athens.
Moreover, O Omilos will be eager to forget the final month of the previous year. They ended December without earning any points, losing all four of their top-tier matches. They didn’t score a single goal and conceded 11 goals.
However, going back to Heraklion will undoubtedly uplift the spirits of the black and whites. They have successfully secured 12 out of 15 points this season while playing at their home ground, highlighting their exceptional performance. They have also shown considerably more strength in their offensive play, scoring 69% more frequently than they do in their away matches.
A PAS Lamia team, who surprised many in the last round of the Greek Super League, is blocking their path. They started 2024 impressively, with Vykintas Slivka’s goal just 240 seconds into the game being enough to secure a 1-0 victory over the giants Olympiakos.
Sadly, Kyanolefki’s journey through the league has not been successful, with only one win in their first eight top-flight away games. Their defensive vulnerability is also apparent, as they are conceding an average of two goals per game.
Besides, when these two sides clashed in mid-September, the crowd witnessed an attractive encounter that culminated in a four-goal draw (2-2), and we are convinced that OFI Crete and Lamia will give us another high-scoring duel.

OFI Crete team news
The presence of Andreas Karo, Dan Glazer, and backup goalkeeper Nikolaos Christogeorgos is uncertain for the domestic clash on Monday, as the trio, for reasons unknown, skipped the opening top-flight action in 2024.
After serving their suspensions, Nikolaos Marinakis and Luis Gallegos should return to their starting positions against PAS Lamia, while manager Pepe Mel will have to wake up an attacking zone that has gone scoreless in four straight matches.

Lamia team news
As for the visitors, they are expected to be without the long-injured Giorgos Saramantas, left winger Kosmas Tsiliandis, and three forwards &— Samuel Longo; Toshio Lake &— among whom is the top scorer Carlitos (5G).
Due to the lack of numerous attacking options, coach Leonidas Vokolos is set to readjust, deploying Mathias Acuna once again as the central striker, and defender Kyriakos Papadopoulos returns to the starting XI after completing a one-match suspension due to yellow cards.
