OFI Crete VS Lamia

OFI Crete welcome Lamia for this Greek Super League round 17 battle at Theodoros Vardinogiannis Stadium early Monday morning Beijing time. This league is of a little better than average level by European standards. Football fans and us serious, profit-hungry football bettors can expect a match of pretty average game here. OFI Crete are having a somewhat disappointing season so far. Indeed, they currently occupy the 10th place. Last season they finished in 7th place (1st place in the Relegation Group). They ended the season with 41 points to their account. Lamia, on the other hand, finished in 12th place (6th in the Relegation Group). OFI Crete have only 15 points to their account. However, their number of expected points (xPTS) is somewhat higher. Their offense has been extremely disappointing so far this season. It is hard to write anything positive about them in this area of the game. Their offense has lacked speed, creativity, individual skill and passing accuracy at critical moments. Furthermore, their midfielders have not been active enough in attacking. Their number of expected goals (xG) is higher – but not by a wide margin. Their defense is not as bad as their offense but one can definitely not call it solid.. Yes, they can improve as the season progresses but it seems that the bookies give this potential way too much emphasis. I want to highlight that they have won only three games in this league so far. I need to mention that there are no spectators allowed at the stadium! This makes the home advantage almost non-existent – as we saw during the Covid-19 when a big number of games were played without fans.. I believe the bookies and the majority of recreational bettors fail to give this factor enough emphasis here.

OFI Crete have been in abysmal form recently, winning just one of their last 10 games! Furthermore, they have now lost three games in a row. In their last game they were completely crushed by PAOK away from home. PAOK, of course, are a strong team. Even so, Crete's performance was disappointing. Indeed, PAOK generated an amazing 5.04 in xG - OFI Crete managed only 0.22. The host cruised to a 4-0 win. Before this they were also weak – losing to Asteras Tripolis 0-2 at home as clear favourites – priced around 1.85 to win by the bookies at the time of kickoff. The hosts had 63% ball possession but the visitors recorded more shots on goal and generated more xG than OFI Crete. Lamia have been a positive surprise and currently occupy the 8th place in the league table. They have a score difference of 18:27 and have taken 20 points. The bookies should stop underestimating this pretty small team in terms of players' total market value – according to Transfermarkt.com. They play well as a team and have a good coach. In their last game they beat one of the biggest teams in Greece, Olympiacos, 1-0 at home as gigantic underdogs, priced around 11.00 to win on the betting market! They had only 36% ball possession but recorded more goal attempts and shots on goal than the visitors. What a fine performance! What the potential the hosts have they deserve to be the favourites but their current of odds of around 1.90 are much too low!

克里特岛VS拉米亚

北京时间周一凌晨，克里特岛欢迎拉米亚队参加希腊超级联赛第17轮的比赛。按照欧洲的标准，这个联赛比平均水平好一点。足球迷和我们这些认真的、渴望利润的足球投注者可以期待一场相当普通的比赛。到目前为止，克里特岛的赛季有些令人失望。事实上，他们目前排在第10位。上赛季他们以第7名(保级组第1名)结束了比赛。他们以41分结束了这个赛季。另一方面，拉米亚排名第12位(降级组第6位)。克里特岛的账户上只有15分。然而，它们的期望值(xPTS)要高一些。本赛季到目前为止，他们的进攻非常令人失望。在游戏的这一领域，很难写出任何积极的东西。他们的进攻缺乏速度、创造力、个人技术和关键时刻的传球准确性。此外，他们的中场在进攻中不够活跃。他们的预期目标数量(xG)更高——但差距并不大。他们的防守并不像进攻那么糟糕，但绝对不能称之为坚固。是的，他们可以随着赛季的进展而进步，但似乎博彩公司过于强调这种潜力。我想强调的是，到目前为止他们在这个联赛中只赢了三场比赛。我需要提一下，体育场不允许观众进入!这使得主场优势几乎不存在——正如我们在Covid-19期间看到的那样，大量比赛在没有球迷的情况下进行。我相信庄家和大多数娱乐投注者在这里没有给予这个因素足够的重视。

克里特队最近状态很糟糕，最近10场比赛只赢了一场!此外，他们已经连续输了三场比赛。在上一场比赛中，他们在客场被巴基斯坦彻底击败。PAOK当然是一支强大的球队。即便如此，克里特岛的表现还是令人失望。事实上，PAOK在xG中生成了惊人的5.04，而OFI Crete仅生成了0.22。东道主以4比0轻松取胜。在此之前，他们也很弱——在主场0-2输给了阿斯特拉斯特里波利斯(Asteras Tripolis)，这是一个明显的夺冠热门——在开球时，博彩公司的胜率在1.85左右。主队有63%的控球率，但客队的射门次数更多，产生的进球也比克里特队多。拉米亚是一个积极的惊喜，目前在联赛中排名第八。他们的比分差是18:27，已经拿了20分。根据Transfermarkt.com的数据，博彩公司应该停止低估这支小球队的球员总市值。他们作为一个团队打得很好，有一个好教练。在他们的上一场比赛中，他们在主场以1比0击败了希腊最大的球队之一奥林匹亚科斯队，尽管他们是巨大的失败者，在博彩市场上的胜率约为11.00 !他们只有36%的控球率，但射门次数和射门次数都比客队多。多么精彩的表演啊!鉴于东道主的潜力，他们理应成为夺冠热门，但目前1.90左右的赔率实在太低了!
