Larissa FC (Home)
- Larissa FC’s home record for the Super League Relegation Group is W2 D7 L7.
- Larissa FC host Asteras Tripolis on Saturday knowing that the team with the most to lose will probably have the edge in this relegation battle.
- Gianluca Festa was appointed manager of Larissa FC at the end of April and has focused on structure and compactness but is yet to spark a turnaround in results.
Asteras Tripolis (Away)
- Asteras Tripolis have only managed one win and ten defeats in 16 away matches in the same competition.
- They are very deep and compact, preferring to sit deep and counter-attack when they can, but they have been blunt on the road, averaging just 0.44 goals per game in away games while conceding 1.50 per match in the Super League.
Head-to-Head
The visitors, who are superior in the standings with 28 points compared to Larissa’s 25 after 32 matches, will be confident of avoiding defeat after beating the home side 3-1 in a home game just four weeks ago.
Key Players
- Federico Macheda, who has three goals in his last six Super League games, can offer a spark up top, but Larissa FC will likely have to play to get results as they have averaged less than a goal a game in the Super League this season, scoring only 14 times in 16 home games in the Super League.
- Lubomir Tupta, Larissa’s main goal threat, has scored two of his team’s five Super League Relegation Group goals, so an away goal could be enough for Tripolis to gain a positive result.
Betting Insights
The odds of 3.0 on the draw here are probably generous and both teams to score - Yes is available at 1.92 while Total Score Under 2.5 is at 1.59 , so we are going for a tight, low-scoring draw as the most likely outcome.
