Form Analysis

Looking at their last 10 matches, Olympiakos Piraeus stand at 5W 2D 3L — 1.70 PPG. Last five: W D W W W. Offensively they are averaging 1.60 goals per game, with 1.00 conceded. 5 clean sheets from 10 games (50%) is a standout defensive return — they are keeping their net clean in more than half their matches.

Olympiakos Piraeus's form when playing at home: 7W 2D 1L across their last 10 home games (2.30 PPG). They are averaging 2.80 goals per home game — a prolific scoring rate in front of their own fans. 5 clean sheets from their last 10 home games (50%) — they are an exceptionally hard side to score against at home. Their home PPG of 2.30 is noticeably stronger than their overall 1.70 — Olympiakos Piraeus are significantly better at home than their overall form suggests.

Across their last 10 games, Atromitos have recorded 2W 4D 4L — 1.00 PPG. Last five: D L L W D. Their scoring rate of 1.00 per game is modest, conceding 1.10 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings (20%).

Atromitos away from home: 1W 5D 4L from their last 10 away games — 0.80 PPG on the road. Away from home they average 0.80 goals scored and 1.20 conceded per game. Both teams have scored in 70% of their away matches — a high BTTS rate on the road that directly informs this fixture.

Olympiakos Piraeus carry the stronger recent momentum — 0.70 PPG ahead of their opponents on 1.70 vs 1.00. The form data is a point in their favour, and where the price allows, it is the cleaner directional bet.

H2H Record

There is little to separate the sides in our head-to-head data. From 3 H2H matches, Olympiakos Piraeus have won 2, Atromitos 0, with 1 draw — a balanced record that offers no clear steer on its own. With only 3 H2H matches to go on, treat this as a light input.

The 3 H2H matches in our data averaged 2.3 goals per game — a neutral rate that gives no strong lean on the goals market from the H2H alone. The most recent of those, on 22 Jan 2023, ended Olympiakos Piraeus 1–1 Atromitos — a draw.

The head-to-head data offers no strong steer in either the result or goals markets. Form, the model and current market pricing should carry more weight for this fixture.

In-Play Profile

Olympiakos Piraeus in-play tendencies (last 33 games, 16 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 69% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 64% of the time; they lead at the break 46% of the time; of the 5 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 40%; BTTS occurs in 38% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 56% of games (home games); they keep a clean sheet 58% of the time.

Atromitos in-play tendencies (last 33 games, 16 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 62% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 82% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 64% of those occasions; of the 11 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 46%; BTTS occurs in 62% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 31% of games (away games); they fail to score in 30% of games.

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Olympiakos Piraeus 39% versus Atromitos 52%; no strong lean in either direction. Under 2.5 goals has backing from the in-play data — both teams register low Over 2.5 rates (Olympiakos Piraeus 52% | Atromitos 24%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Olympiakos Piraeus 1.76 xG and Atromitos 0.69 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: Olympiakos Piraeus attack 1.164 / defence 0.862 | Atromitos attack 1.009 / defence 0.985. League average goals — home 1.533 / away 0.787. Data: built from Olympiakos Piraeus's last 27 games and Atromitos's last 26. Some of those games are older results, so treat these probabilities as directional rather than precise.

Result probabilities: Olympiakos Piraeus 61% | Draw 28% | Atromitos 12%. Fair-value odds: Olympiakos Piraeus 1.65 | Draw 3.60 | Atromitos 8.65. The model has a clear lean to Olympiakos Piraeus (61%) — a 33pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 44% | BTTS Yes probability 44% | Total xG 2.44. Under 2.5 has a narrow probability edge at 56% — total xG of 2.44 is below the line but not decisively so. BTTS No at 56% is only a slight lean — the model gives both sides a fair chance of scoring, so No isn't a clear standalone call.

Summary & Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is Olympiakos Piraeus at 61% — clear model lean. Recent form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 28% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.

Poisson projects 2.44 total expected goals, pointing to Under 2.5 at 56% probability — a Poisson-only call with no corroboration from form or H2H.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is No at 56%. This conflicts with form data — both teams scored in: Olympiakos Piraeus 50% (last 10 home games) | Atromitos 70% (last 10 away games), a notable divergence.

The Poisson model's sample (Olympiakos Piraeus 27 games, Atromitos 26) includes some older results, so its projections carry extra uncertainty — weight recent form and the odds accordingly.
