In recent seasons, OFI Crete have been mostly a mid-table team in the Greek Super League. This season, even though it is still early, they are once again looking like a mid-table team. While they had their ups and downs this season, they are in excellent form, winning four in a row in all competitions and even reaching the Semi-Finals in the Cup. In the league, they are ten points away from the top four spots and the Championship Group, and reaching it doesn't seem likely.
Levadiakos have moved between Super League and Supper League 2 in recent years. Last year, they secured a promotion and are only looking to survive somehow. Right now, they are in 10th place with 17 points - five points from moving up to the Conference League Group. But in the upcoming games, they will face Levadiakos, Asteras Tripolis, PAOK, and Olympiacos, so escaping the relegation group doesn't seem likely.
OFI Crete vs Levadiakos pick: OFI Crete to win
OFI Crete are in excellent form, winning four in a row, with an incredible 13:1 goal difference. During that mini-stretch, they had some nice wins, like the one vs Aris on the road (2:0).
Meanwhile, Levadiakos are not a good road team. Their only win in eight games was against Athens Kallithea - one of the worst teams in the league.
In the previous three h2h games, OFI Crete won twice, and once was a draw. But even in that draw, OFI were a much better team and deserved to win. Considering their previous h2h games, OFI's great form, and Levadiakos' poor road record, we expect a comfortable win for the hosts.
