LiontipsAsteras - OFI. Forecast and bets on the Greek Championship match
Command Analysis
Current form
Asteras started the season rather weakly and for some time did not win at all, but in the last matches things improved and the club rose to the middle of the tournament table. In the last round of the Super League they even managed to beat one of the contenders for the championship, Olympiakos (1:0). Before that there was a goalless draw with Lamia in an away match. The hosts are also progressing well in the national cup. In the last cup matches they managed to beat Kavala (1:0, a.v.) and Zakynthos (2:1). The team from Tripoli is relying on defense this season and in nine Super League matches they have conceded only seven goals, remaining one of the best teams in the championship in this indicator.
Disqualifications and injuries
Spanish defender Pepe Castano will miss the match due to injury.
Interesting trends for betting
- The team has conceded only one goal in its last four matches.
- The hosts have not lost in seven matches in a row
Tentative line-up : Tsintotas - Khukhumis, Muñoz Mumo, Triantaphyllopoulos, Alho - Jablonski, Delhi - Macheda, Bartolo, Kaltsas - Hesk
Current form
OFI is one position above today opponent - in seventh place. The gap between the teams is only one point, so the face-to-face match is quite important in terms of ranking the places in the tournament table. Unlike Asteras, the visitors clearly have an attack bias - the "black and whites" score a lot, but at the same time they concede at the level of the tournament outsiders. In the last home matches, OFI lost to Panetolikos (1:2) and Panathinaikos (0:1), but on the road they managed to perform more successfully - victories over Panserraikos (3:2) and the current champion of the country, PAOK (2:1).
Disqualifications and injuries
The visitors still have Brazilian defender Bressan in the infirmary.
Interesting trends for betting
- The team has not drawn in their last six matches.
- The club has won three of its last four away matches
Tentative lineup : Christogheorgos - Marinakis, Lampropoulos, Christopoulos, Hadziteodoridis - Karahalios, Bainovich - Shengelia, Fountas, Apostolakis - Jung

1.85Tip and bets
It is difficult to give preference to one team or another in this match. The clubs are neighbors in the tournament table and demonstrate approximately the same results, so it is unlikely that anyone will have a noticeable advantage. The last face-to-face match took place in April, and then the opponents parted ways in a draw. We believe that this time a draw will be the fairest outcome.
Our prediction is a draw at 3.25
Bet on total
The hosts play great defense and it is rare for anyone to get past their defensive formations. The visitors are not superior to their opponents in class, so it will be quite difficult to show a productive performance. We think that we will not see more than two goals here, as in most of the recent matches between the teams.
Our prediction is total under 2.5 goals for 1.75
Bet on corners
We think that in this match the opponents will bet on defense, so it is unlikely that we can expect many corner kicks here. We suggest betting on the total under this indicator.
Our prediction is total under 8.5 corners for 1.85
