Asteras T. vs OFI Crete Prediction: Derby in the middle of the table in Greece

The last match of the 10th round of the Greece Super League will be played on Monday, and it certainly is one of the most interesting in this round. Asteras Tripolis will welcome OFI Crete, two teams with almost identical stats in the league, and this match is truly a derby in the middle of the table.

Asteras T. are in 8th place in the table, one place below their opponent, and have only a point less than them. In the previous 9 rounds, Asteras T. have 3 wins, 4 draws, and 2 defeats, scoring 9 and conceding 7 goals which is enough for 13 points. They are undefeated in the last 7 matches in all competitions, but at home, they are undefeated in their last two matches only. In the previous round, they made a huge miracle and defeated Olympiakos 1:0 in this stadium.

OFI Crete are in 7th place with 14 points, 4 wins, 2 draws, 3 defeats, and a goal difference of 14:14. They have 3 wins and 2 defeats in the previous 5 matches in all competitions, and in the previous round, the same as Asteras T. they won against one of the best Greek teams PAOK, in Thessaloniki 2:1, with an amazing turnaround after they were losing at half-time 1:0. They are playing very well away from home, in their 5 away matches in the league they have 3 wins, a draw, and a defeat so it's clear that they will tough opponent for Asteras.

These teams are always playing very tense and tough matches. In their last 5 matches, Asteras T. won twice and OFI Crete once. Only one of those five matches ended with over 2.5 goals, and considering their way of playing and performances I expect another tight game with none or few goals, and I can’t really see some difference in their quality so I expect to see a draw in this encounter.
