Larissa
- Larissa are winless in their last five (D4, L1).
- Larissa have failed to win any of their last three at home (D2, L1).
- Head coach Gianluca Festa has overseen a transformation in Larissa since his appointment earlier this year as they have become a pragmatic, organised and disciplined outfit with their focus on defensive solidity and counter-attacking.
Atromitos
- Atromitos have won three of their last five matches and lost twice.
- Atromitos will be expected to top the group as they sit with 40 points after 33 matches, with Larissa way down in 6th spot with only 26 after the same amount of fixtures.
- Atromitos have the creative talent and forward momentum to cause Larissa big problems on the counter, with Makana Baku their chief threat in the final third - the attacker has scored four times in seven Relegation Group games.
Head-to-Head
- This was the third meeting between these sides in recent months and Atromitos have won two and drawn one of the previous three, making them a worthy favourite for the match.
- Atromitos can do so if they can match the performance that saw them beat Larissa 3-2 on home turf only three weeks ago.
Key Players
- Lubomir Tupta has netted two in his last seven games and is getting little help from his teammates.
- Makana Baku has scored four times in seven Relegation Group games and is Atromitos’ chief threat in the final third.
Betting Insights
- Atromitos have won six of their 16 away games in the Relegation Group this season, while Larissa have won just two of their 17 at home.
- Odds:2.85 on an away win.
Prediction
Atromitos are in decent form and have the momentum to earn another away win against a Larissa side that have been unable to find a winning formula of late.
