Home - A.E. Kifisia F.C.
- A.E. Kifisia F.C. have the better overall record in the Super League Relegation Group 2026, currently placed second with 37 points from 33 games, compared to Larissa FC’s 26 points in sixth.
- Sebastián Leto has done a solid job since taking over the helm at Kifisia in July 2024, bringing structure and tactical discipline to his team.
- Kifisia play a pragmatic 4-2-3-1 system, zonal marking with solidity in defense, quick transitions and always looking for chances from set-pieces.
Away - Larissa FC
- Larissa FC have struggled away in the Super League Relegation Group 2026, with just 2 wins in 16 matches and an average of 0.88 goals scored per away game.
- Larissa play a much more direct and up-tempo version of 4-2-3-1, with a higher press and more urgency to attack in the final third, but can be more open to the counter attack when it doesn’t come off.
- Gianluca Festa has done a good job since he took over in April 2026, keeping Larissa competitive throughout the relegation group, although they remain unbeaten in their last two away games, drawing both.
Recent meeting
The last match between these two teams finished 1-1 at Larissa’s home three weeks ago , a result which reflects the tight nature of this fixture throughout this competition.
Players to watch
- Jorge Pombo, who has scored three times in seven Super League Relegation Group games, can be a spark when needed.
- Larissa’s Lubomir Tupta, who has two goals in seven, can be their main outlet in this phase of the campaign, although like Kifisia, they are not always efficient at carving out clear scoring opportunities.
Odds & context
- The odds for a home win are 2.25, Under 2.5 goals is priced at 1.67, and both teams to score is 1.85.
- The last meeting ended 1-1, underlining the likelihood of a tight, low-scoring game.
Our view
- Larissa have one win, three draws and one defeat from their last five games and, although they have a worse overall record, may have the momentum to make Kifisia work for the win on Thursday.
- The difference in styles will make this a chess match and it may only take one mistake to cost either team the win, so we are going for a low-scoring home win.
