Volos NFC vs OFI Crete Match Preview

Volos from Thessaly welcomes Ofi from Crete for the 3rd matchday of the Greek Super League.

The hosts, after the satisfying 3-3 against Asteras Tripoli, made a change in technical leadership, which led to a great victory away from home with 0-1 against AEK Athens. Volos have kept last year's main core spearheaded by the Dutch scorer Van Weert and with some important additions such as the experienced Milos Deletic are expected to remain comfortably in the division this year playing attractive football.

On the other hand, OFI's team in the first two matches experienced the same number of defeats without playing particularly well. They lost 3-1 away to Atromitos and 0-2 at home to Panathinaikos, which was not surprising given the weaknesses of the team's roster. In addition, the absences of the important midfielders Neira and Toral added to the negatives, while the striker Durmishaj is also out of the squad.

Taking into account all the above, I expect the home team to prevail, taking advantage of OFI's most important absences, since it will be difficult for them to score. I think that Volos will score a goal that will unlock the defense of the visitors and I will bet 3 points on the home win since there is value at odds of 1.93.
