OFI Creta – Karaiskakis: Today’s Soccer Bet
We will be faced with a host party that promotes promotion and another struggling to avoid relegation. The OFI ranks third in the rankings and can come close to a 3-point winner Panachaiki, who drew at this stage.
The OFI has 4 wins in the last 5 matches, and in all these winning games scored at least two goals (3-0, 2-0, 3-0, 3-1). On the ground, the OFI is a real strength of the championship, having 5 wins in 6 games and a 18-4 golaveraj. No other team in the championship, even Aris Thessaloniki, has scored so many goals at home (Aris has only 11).
Karaiskakis is one of the weakest bands in the away games and has only one win in 6 matches played away from the support of his fans, a victory that dates back to November 12th.
Karaiskakis is a modest financial band. This formation made 4 transfers this winter, bringing players from the third league, not even from the bullet in which they evolved (for example, the OFI brought 6 players, including a Nigerian, and four of them came from bands in first division).
The lot of OFI Crete is valued at transfermarkt.com at almost 6 million euros, while players from Karaiskakis are all quoted at 2 million euros.
Taking into account the fact that the match will be played on a stadium with a special acoustics, where OFI fans will create a tight atmosphere, I think the hosts will be able to score at least 2 goals in the Thursday match.
Prediction today: OFI Crete – Over 1.5
Odds: 1.75
