Asteras Tripolis take on the visitors Ionikos in the round 13 match of Greek Super League. The match will be played on Monday, November 14th at Theodoros Kolokotronis Stadium (Tripoli).
Asteras are not impressive this season. The "Yellow-blue" relatively recently played in the final of the Cup of the country. Also in the middle of the last decade, they twice in a row made their way to the group stage of the Europa League, however, they took 3rd place in their quartet. True, the last seasons were not particularly successful for the club from Tripoli - the last time they tried their hand at European competitions in 2019, they immediately were knocked out by Hibernian, and in the last championship they finished in 9th place out of 14 participants. Now there are few defeats, but the victory over OFI has been the only one for too long. Ateras lost again in the last round, and again without chances - 0-2 to Atromitos.

Ionikos spends only the 2nd year in a row in the Greek football "elite". The Blue-Whites are remembered to us mainly by the fact that they were coached for quite a long time, and not without success, by Oleg Blokhin. But then there was a long decline, and only at the end of the season before last, due to winning the 2nd division of the country. The newcomer had a good 1st year at top level, in the end even being "the best among the worst": at the second stage of the draw, they climbed to 7th place, ahead of OFI, which was a little higher in the "regular season". Now the start was completely failed: the team took only 2 points in the first 8 rounds. But since mid-autumn, she finally managed to find best conditions. First, at home, Ionikos took draws with PAS Giannina (2-2) and Panetolikos (1-1). And November began with a long-awaited victory - 2-0 on the OFI field. However, PAOK put the players on the ground on November 10, beating them 3-0 away.
Ionikos were stronger than the old-timer of the Greek Super League last season. First, they collected 4 points in head-to-heads in the regular season, and then repeated the away victory in an additional rounds among the teams that fought for survival. Asteras is seen as the pair's favorite, apparently due to playing at home. But, given the weak statistics of the parties, we recommend betting on "less than 2.5 goals".
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
