Lamia vs PAOK Match Preview

Lamia face PAOK for the 20th round of the Greek Super League at the Lamia Municipal Stadium.

The last victory for Lamia was 15 days ago in Nea Smyrni against Panionios by 0-1, since then, an expected defeat followed against Olympiacos with a total scoreline of 0-4 at home, while in the previous round they drew 1-1 in Agrinio against Panetolikos. In the meantime, for the Greek Cup, they managed to qualify in the next round of the competition by winning on Trikala 0-1 and drew 1-1 against Lamia. They are currently at the 10th place of the table with 23 points and that shows that they achieved their difficult goal of staying at the top league. The absence of Touram will be replaced by Karamanos. The 28 year old Tyronne is unavailable due to suspension.

PAOK after winning in the derby against AEK 1-0, continued their winning streak over OFI by 4-1 in the Cup, qualifying for the next phase of the competition, and 3-1 over Asteras Tripolis. These results gave the team some boost and motivation to follow up on the 1st placed Olympiacos. Currently placed 2nd in the table, with just one point behind Olympiacos, aiming to claim their spot in the table. Giannoulis, as well as José Ángel Crespo and Diego Biseswar, return from suspension. Limnios is expected to start in the game.

PAOK are definitely the superiors here, while on one way or another they will try their best on getting the three points tonight, aiming for the title. I expect PAOK to win with a two-goal difference covering also the -1.5 Asian Handicap.
