✍️ Match Preview

Analysis & Preview

Kalamata travel to Kaftanzoglio Stadium to take on Iraklis 1908 in Super League 1 (matchday 24). The game is scheduled for Saturday 6 March 2027 at 16:00 UK time.

Form Analysis

Looking at their last 10 matches, Iraklis 1908 stand at 1W 4D 5L — 0.70 PPG. Last five: W L L D L. They are averaging 0.90 goals per game and conceding 1.60 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings (20%). Both teams have scored in 60% of their games — a high BTTS rate that carries real weight in the goals markets.

Iraklis 1908 at home: 1W 1D 3L from their last 5 home games — 0.80 PPG on home soil. At home they are averaging 1.20 goals scored and 1.60 conceded per game. BTTS has landed in 60% of their home matches — a rate that supports the Yes angle in this fixture.

Across their last 10 games, Kalamata have recorded 3W 3D 4L — 1.20 PPG. Last five: W W L D D. They are scoring at 1.50 per game and conceding 1.90. Both teams have scored in 70% of their games — a noteworthy BTTS rate that supports the Yes market.

When travelling, Kalamata have posted 1W 2D 2L from their last 5 away outings — 1.00 PPG. Away from home they average 1.00 goals scored and 2.00 conceded per game. BTTS has landed in 60% of their away games — meaningful support for the Yes angle in this specific context.

Despite the home advantage, the form figures favour Kalamata — 0.50 PPG ahead of the hosts (1.20 vs 0.70). That gap is large enough to take seriously. Draw No Bet on the visitors neutralises home-ground risk while maintaining the form-backed selection.

The BTTS market is worth targeting here. Both teams have scored in 60% of Iraklis 1908's games and 60% of Kalamata's (from Iraklis 1908's last 5 home games and Kalamata's last 5 away games) — both sides above the 60% threshold gives BTTS Yes firm statistical grounding.

H2H Record

There is little to separate the sides in our head-to-head data. From 1 H2H match, Iraklis 1908 have won 0, Kalamata 0, with 1 draw — a balanced record that offers no clear steer on its own. With only 1 H2H match to go on, treat this as a light input.

The 1 H2H match in our data averaged 2.0 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 2 Nov 2026, ended Iraklis 1908 1–1 Kalamata — 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

Iraklis 1908 in-play tendencies (last 10 games, 5 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 80% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 75% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 75% of those occasions; BTTS occurs in 60% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 40% of games (home games); they fail to score in 30% of games.

Kalamata in-play tendencies (last 10 games, 5 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 100% of their matches in away games; of the 6 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 50%; BTTS occurs in 60% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 40% of games (away games); Over 3.5 in 50%; they fail to score in 30% of games.

From a combined perspective, both sides have high BTTS rates — Iraklis 1908 60% and Kalamata 70% — which reinforces the BTTS Yes angle from in-play data. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Iraklis 1908 40% | Kalamata 50%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Iraklis 1908 1.76 xG and Kalamata 1.30 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: Iraklis 1908 attack 0.857 / defence 1.340 | Kalamata attack 0.940 / defence 1.283. League average goals — home 1.603 / away 1.034. Kalamata's defence rating of 1.283 (above 1 = concedes more than average) is pushing Iraklis 1908's projected output up. Iraklis 1908's defence rating of 1.340 (above 1 = concedes more than average) is pushing Kalamata's projected output up. Data: built from Iraklis 1908's last 10 games and Kalamata's last 10.

Result probabilities: Iraklis 1908 45% | Draw 29% | Kalamata 26%. Fair-value odds: Iraklis 1908 2.20 | Draw 3.46 | Kalamata 3.90. Iraklis 1908 hold a narrow Poisson edge at 45% — the draw (29%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 59% | BTTS Yes probability 63% | Total xG 3.07. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 59% — the 3.07 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 63% — both xG figures (1.76 / 1.30) are high enough that each side is projected to find the net.

Analysis Verdict

On the Poisson output, Iraklis 1908 are the pick at 45% — moderate model lean. Note a divergence: in-form Kalamata (1.20 PPG) cuts against the Poisson lean — the model adjusts for opposition strength, which raw form results do not. With a 29% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Iraklis 1908 offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win.

The Poisson model projects 3.07 xG in total — Over 2.5 at 59% — reasonable conviction, supported by recent form (Iraklis 1908's last 5 home games and Kalamata's last 5 away games) averaging 2.9 goals per game.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 63% on Yes. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: Iraklis 1908 60% (last 5 home games) | Kalamata 60% (last 5 away games).
