HOME TEAM - -past fixtures, forthcoming fixtures and likely team - DUSS
RECENT HOME FORM - WWWWWWWWLDD - Loss v 2nd, draws v 3rd and 14th, hint at an ability to cope with 12th. Have scored 2+ in all wins.

RECENT OVERALL FORM - LDLLWLLDDLDLW - last win against 16th.All draws against 7th and lower in the league. 5 defeats and a 2-3 away win home and away to top 6
GOAL TRENDS - 42% overs away from home. Concede 1.92 on average away. Recent trend to unders with 1-1's which also pervaded Duss's recent scorelines. Only 4 clean sheets this season. HAve conceded 2 or more in all bar 1 of home and away matches against top 6.

1245pm - Bolton v QPR - 2.56 home - unlikely to be 4-0 again with Sparky in charge of QPR.
HEAD TO HEADS
| 13.08.2011 | PR | Queens Park Rangers | 0-4 | Bolton Wanderers |
LEAGUE POSITION - 19th v 16th and only 2 points separating these 2 puts this match into the "best team on the day" category as this is effectively a relegation 6 pointer. Very hard to read. And the market is telling you as much.
HOME TEAM - -past fixtures, forthcoming fixtures and likely team - Bolton
RECENT HOME FORM - LLLLLWLLLDWDL - wins against 7th and 9th at home. Most recently against Liverpool, followed by a draw against Arsenal 0-0 and a 1-2 loss to Wigan. Talk about unreadable!
RECENT FORM OVERALL - LLWLDWLWDLLLL - Bolton seemed to spring into life with 2 wins and 2 draws in 5 matches against Everton, Liverpool and draws against Arsenal and Wolves both at home. Then they lost 4, conceding 2 in each match, against Norwich, Wigan, Chelsea and Man City.3 wins ( all away) a draw and a loss against bottom 5 home and away.
GOAL TRENDS - 62% overs at home. Average 2.07 conceded per home match.Opponent scores first in 74% of matches. Have scored 14 in last 1/2 hour of matches.
STREAKS - 2 at home without a win, 5 overall. HAve conceded in last 4.
AWAY TEAM - past fixtures -forthcoming fixtures and likely team - QPR
RECENT AWAY FORM - WLWLLWLLDLLDL - wins have come against 9th, 13th and 18th away from home, but very recently ( i.e. under Sparky), it's 5 defeats and 3 draws away. HAve lost away to 17th and 20th. 6 of 8 defeats away have come against top 11 sides. It seems QPR set up away very differently against top sides ( as seen by 3 1-0 defeats away) than with relegation fodder ( 3-2 loss to Blackburn, 0-3 win v Wolves and 2-0 loss to Wigan).
RECENT OVERALL FORM - LLDLLLWDLLLD - only 1 win recently overall was a home 3-1 v Wigan. QPR are struggling.
GOAL TRENDS - 54% overs away from home. As I said earlier, it seems QPR are more open against similar relegation threatened sides and more likely to produce goal laden games. Have conceded in their last 18 matches.
STREAKS - 7 away without a win, have conceded in last 10 away. Only 1 win in last 15.
CONCLUSION/NOTES/STANDOUT STATS - this is the kind of match I would tend to avoid. Remembering the time of the season and the problems these 2 are having, this is a traditional 6 pointer. I would take my cues from QPR's matches against bottom 6 away rather than their heroic 1-0 defeats to top sides. This might hint at an open game and goals. Both sides in poor form, only 2 points separate them and not a match to ignite any excitement. Bolton concede first in 3 of every 4 matches. That might be an interesting angle in.

HOME TEAM - -past fixtures, forthcoming fixtures and likely team - bayern
RECENT HOME FORM -LWWWWWLWWWWW - no draw at home. More likely to win. Defeats have been 0-1 against 1st and 3rd.Have scored 2,3,4,5,7 in all wins at home.
RECENT FORM OVERALL - LLWWWLWDWDWL - Last LLDDL have all come away from home. 2 or 3 goal wins at home last 4 without conceding.
GOAL TRENDS - 58% overs at home.3 scored and 0.25 conceded on average at home is really standout. OR 36 scored and 3 conceded. Last 6 matches under 2.5 goals includes 3 2-0 wins at home. Gomez, Ribery and Robben your go to men for goals at home. Gomez, if absent , will be a huge miss.
STREAKS - 5 match home winning streak. 12 at home without a draw. Have scored in last 5 and no goal conceded in last 4 at home.
AWAY TEAM - past fixtures -forthcoming fixtures and likely team - Hoff ( just hope they don't sing or run around in red speedos)
RECENT AWAY FORM - LWWLLLLLWLDW - wins away against 9th, 11th 12th and 16th. Have lost 5 adn drawn 1-1 against top 8 away from home. All defeats away by 2 or 3 goals . Have played 5 against top 7 away , scoring a goal in 4 of the matches.
RECENT OVERALL FORM - LWDDLDDDWD - do note that 5 of last 6 draws came at home. Only 1 draw away was a 1-1 with Werder Bremen.Last defeat was 3-1 away to 1st in the league. Playing 2nd away today.
GOAL TRENDS - 42% overs away from home. Very strong unders trend lately helped in no small part by 6 1-1 and 2 0-0 draws. Have failed to score in 6 this season. Have scored 63% of goals in the first half.
STREAKS - HAve scored and conceded in last 6 overall.
CONCLUSION/NOTES/STANDOUT STATS - immediately for me the numbers 2 and 3 spring up. 2+ goals scored in wins at home by Bayern. 2 or 3 conceded in away defeats by Hoff. Conceded 3-3-2-2-2 in defeats away to top 8. Recent spate of draws for Hoff punctuated by a 3-1 defeat to Dortmund. 1-1 saver might be a good starter as Hoff could score. Over 3.5 goals could be a goer if Hoff do score ( and early). Form indicates a BAyern win scoring 2 minimum. Hoff have showed they can score against top sides but against a team averaging 0.25 goals conceded at home ( or 36 scored and 2 conceded!!!)
230pm - Mgladbach v Freiburg - 1.6 home

LEAGUE POSITION - 3rd v 17th, hence the reason the market is sweet on the home side.Mgladbach, like Bayern, are waiting for Dortmund to slip up.
HOME TEAM - -past fixtures, forthcoming fixtures and likely team - Mgladbach
RECENT HOME FORM - DWWWDWWDWWWD - no defeat at home . Have only played one of the bottom 5 at home, a 1-0 win over bottom. This is inconclusive.
RECENT FORM OVERALL - WDLWWWDWWDL - last 2 losses against 9th and 16th away, both 1-0 defeats. And they have lost away to 16th and 17th 1-0. Yes I know they are playing at home today but it shows a little vulnerability.
GOAL TRENDS - 50/50 overs at home -have scored in all home matches, inferring that if you were expecting a draw, it would be a score draw. 2.08 scored on average at home. All 6 times Mgladbach have failed to score, they have come away.They score nearly 70% of their goals in the first half of matches.Have scored 20 and conceded 6 in first half. The opponent leads at half time in only 12.5 % of matches.
STREAKS - 12 at home without defeat. Have scored in last 12 at home.
AWAY TEAM - past fixtures -forthcoming fixtures and likely team - Freiburg
RECENT AWAY FORM - DLLLLWDLLLL - sole win away v 9th. Against top 8 away, have lost 4 , conceding 7-4-5-4 - if the market was expecting that again today, Mgladbach's price would be lower than 1.6
RECENT OVERALL FORM - DDDLLWLDLDLW - last 2 wins came at home.4 of last 5 defeats came away. Hint of Jekyll and Hyde about recent home and away form.
GOAL TRENDS - 82% overs away from home is a real standout stat and with Mgladbach at 50/50 overs at home, perhaps we should be taking our cues from this stat. Have conceded in all away matches. 3.18 conceded on average away. 3/4 of points have come at home this season. Opponent scores first in 2/3rd of matches and leads at halftime in 50% of matches.
STREAKS - 4 match away losing streak. 5 away without a win. 4 away without a draw. Have conceded in last 11 away matches
CONCLUSION/NOTES/STANDOUT STATS - here we have a team which has scored in all home matches against a team conceding in all away matches. Freiburg have been royally spanked meeting top teams, conceding 7-4-5-4 against top 8 away. IF you think this continues today, then 1.6 for Mgladbach offers extreme value. I would take my cues for overs from Freiburg, but a note of caution that Mgladbach are NOT priced to score 4+ goals today ( they would be around 1.2 if they were).
Freiburg get 75% of their points from home matches, indeed they have favourable results at home when Mgladbach visited. At Mgladbach's home, in head to heads, it's 1-1 and 2-0 .
I expect this type of scoreline today.
Overs is determinant on whether you think Mgladbach can replicate other top 8 sides when Freiburg visit.

3pm - Aston Villa v Fulham - 2.6 home - another match which, at first glance, does not appeal. And no surprise they have drawn last 3. Beware though, of new manager itis for Villa.
HEAD TO HEADS
| 13.08.2011 | PR | Fulham FC | 0-0 | Aston Villa | |

| 09.05.2009 | PR | Fulham FC | 3-1 | Aston Villa |
LEAGUE POSITION - 15th v 8th and only 6 points between them. So at first glance top 10 for Fulham looks impressive, but it does not tell a story of a tight midriff in the Premiership table.Villa, on 30 points seem safe, with those below starting on 22 points.
HOME TEAM - -past fixtures, forthcoming fixtures and likely team - Villa
RECENT HOME FORM - WDDWLWLLLLDDL - you want exciting football, then don't hire McLiesh. Catch 22 now for Villa. The natives are restless at home with no win in 7 matches, this surely increases the pressure on Mcleish and team for the home win, they start to dread playing at home, making at elusive home win all the more difficult.Wins have come against 11th, 17th and 20th. Against the 6 of the top 10 Villa have played at home, they have lost 5 and drew 1-1 with Newcastle. Do you realistically term Fulham a top 10 side, despite their current position?
RECENT FORM OVERALL - LDWLDWDLLDD - last 3 wins came away from home.
GOAL TRENDS - 39% overs at home I suppose typically Mcleish. Only 6 clean sheets all season. Have conceded in last 9 home matches.
STREAKS - 7 at home without a win, 5 overall. Have conceded in last 9 at home.
AWAY TEAM - past fixtures -forthcoming fixtures and likely team - Fulham
RECENT AWAY FORM - LLDLWDDLDDLLW - wins against 16th and 20th away from home continues a very poor away form which is becoming synonymous with fulham. 3 losses have come against 14th, 17th and 18th, which makes determining what will happen against 15th a little difficult. We can say that Fulham have not drawn away against bottom 7 sides ( of which Villa are one).
RECENT OVERALL FORM - LDDWLWDLWWW - 3 match winning run, albeit 1 away 0-1 v QPR. A real Jekyll and Hyde home and away team , particularly against bottom 6 where they have won 3 at home and drawn 2 . For example, Fulham at home beat Wolves 5-0 yet lose 2-0 away to the same side. Only 1 defeat away in last 6 matches sees Fulham is a good frame of mind.
GOAL TRENDS - 23% overs away from home. Score an average 0.62 away per match. Score only 21% of their goals away from home.
STREAKS - no goal conceded in last 2 matches.
CONCLUSION/NOTES/STANDOUT STATS - this is a real headscratcher. Why? Well Villa need a home win, they have not had one in 7. The home fans get on the team's back. They feel the pressure and dread playing at home. Fulham continue their struggles away from home, but have posted wins against 16th and 20th ( Villa are 15th) and are playing Villa at the right time ( i.e struggling at home).The 23% overs stats for Fulham away is really standout and hints, more than anything, at a Fulham side finding it tough to score away. Indeed Only 21% of their total goals this season have come away from home. Only 1 defeat in 6 might see Fulham get something, but they'll need to resolve their away goalscoring blues.
Villa have conceded in last 9 home matches.
Do we back the 0-0 initially as a back to lay trade given Fulham's poor away goalscoring record?

LEAGUE POSITION - 5th v 9th - so 2 top 10 sides meet. beware Chelsea new manager syndrome. The , ahem, clears throat, capable Roberto Di Matteo who really, ahem, worked, cough, wonders at West Brom.
HOME TEAM - -past fixtures, forthcoming fixtures and likely team - Chelsea
RECENT HOME FORM - WWWWLLWWDLWDW - defeat at home v Arsenal, Liverpool and Villa. Draws against Man Utd and Fulham. Playing 9th today and have beaten 10th to 14th inclusive at home. Only 1 defeat in last 7 at home.
RECENT FORM OVERALL - DDDLWWDDDLWL - 4 of last 6 draws came away from home. This shows the kind of form that cost " Oh arse" his job. Last 2 defeats away from home.
GOAL TRENDS - 85% overs at home is a standout stat. Have scored in all home matches. Have conceded in 10 out of 11 matches at home v top 15.Fat Frank and Mata top scorers at home.
STREAKS - have scored in last 13 at home.
AWAY TEAM - past fixtures -forthcoming fixtures and likely team - Stoke
RECENT AWAY FORM - DWLLLLWWLWDLL - all wins away have come outside the top 9. Have lost to 1st, 3rd, 4th and 8th at home conceding 3-2-3-2. 0-0 v Liverpool I suppose is something Stoke would strive for today.
RECENT OVERALL FORM - LDDWDLLLLWW - last 2 wins came at home v Swansea and Norwich. 0-0 with Chelsea at home this season again a reminder of the 0-0 away at Liverpool.
GOAL TRENDS - 54% overs away from home. Have only scored 9 goals away in 13 this season. 4 of last 6 matches under 2.5 goals. Peter Crouch with 4 away goals the only real goalscorer away.
STREAKS - 3 away without a win, no draw in 6 overall
CONCLUSION/NOTES/STANDOUT STATS - I don't really like " new manager" games. Sudden tactical and personnel changes may produce the gold they are looking for, or leave them head down in the dirt. What is it to be today? Form wise, Chelsea should win by 2 or 3 goals, with a chance of a clean sheet as Stoke have shown a distinct lack of away goals this season - 9 in total. 0-0 could be backable if Stoke bring the bus with them.Expectation as usual with Chelsea is for more goals 2nd half than 1st half.
Strong overs trend from Chelsea at home in particular. Again I reiterate that Matteo's game plan might be a lot different to "Oh Arse"'s

LEAGUE POSITION - 1st v 17th - Hammers a game in hand and only a point behind so crucial Saints win home matches they are expected to win. They need Le God back.
HOME TEAM - -past fixtures, forthcoming fixtures and likely team - Saints
RECENT HOME FORM - WWWWWWWWWWDWLLDWWD - slight wobble of late after superb winning streak. defeats at home v 11th and 20th. Draws against 5th, 8th and 15th, all score draws.
RECENT FORM OVERALL - LLWLDDWDWWWD - 2 of last 3 defeats were the only 2 home defeats this season. Since then, an unbeaten run of 8 augurs well for the run in tussle with the Hamsters.
GOAL TRENDS - 56% overs at home a little inconclusive. 0.72 conceded at home on average and 2.11 scored. Lambert is the key goalscorer for Saints. IF he is missing, think again. do Prado is also needed for goals at home. Saints have scored 23 and conceded 7 in first 1/2 hour of matches.
STREAKS - 4 at home without defeat, 8 overall. Have scored in last 4 at home and last 6 overall.
AWAY TEAM - past fixtures -forthcoming fixtures and likely team - Barnsley
RECENT AWAY FORM - DWDDDLLLWWLLWLLLL - no draw in 12 away from home. 1-0 loss to 2nd away, 1-2 win v 3rd and 2-0 loss to 4th . An ability to keep West Ham to 1 goal might signal a special set up against top teams away from home.
RECENT OVERALL FORM - LWLWLWLLWLLDL - 3 of last 4 wins have come at home . Against top 8 home and away, it's 8 defeats, a 1-1 away draw v Brum and a 1-2 win v Reading away. Note 1-0 home to Saints loss and 1-0 away loss to West HAm.
GOAL TRENDS - 35% overs away from home. 4 of last 5 matches under 2.5 goals. Only 2 clean sheets in last 23 matches. 63% of points at earned at home. Have conceded a whopping 26 goals in the last 1/2 hour of matches this season.
STREAKS - no draw in 12 away. Have conceded in last 14 away
CONCLUSION/NOTES/STANDOUT STATS - only 2 defeats at home for Saints, and no draw in 12 away for Barnsley could lead us to conclude a home win is more likely than anything else. Unbeaten run of 8 overall for Saints should see them come away from this match with something. 8 defeats, 1 draw and 1 win for Barnsley home and away v top 8. Do note 1-0 defeats when playing Saints and West Ham - is that just a coincidence? 35% overs away from home suggest an ability to keep it tight for a short while. If tight coming to the last 1/2 hour, BArnsley are more likely to concede.
If you are keen on saints at home, then confidence will really be boosted by the presence of Ricky Lambert and Do Prado as they are best at home.

LEAGUE POSITION- 12th v 7th. A win could take Sunderland provisionally 8th dependent on other results.
HOME TEAM - -past fixtures, forthcoming fixtures and likely team - Sunderland
RECENT HOME FORM - LLWDDDLWDWWWL - defeats have come against 4th, 5th, 6th and 20th. Note playing 7th today!!! Top teams a step too far? Last 3 wins against Man City ( 90th minute win 1-0), Swansea and Norwich.
RECENT FORM OVERALL - WDWWLWWWLLD - 2 recent defeats against Arsenal ( unlucky 90th minute Henry winner), West Brom 4-0 drubbing, and a 1-1 away draw v Newcastle a sign of decline under O'Neill? Against top 7 home and away, 1 win was a 1-0 home win v Sunderland, 7 defeats, and that 1-1 away draw v Newcastle.
GOAL TRENDS - 62% overs at home. 4 of last 7 unders.
STREAKS - 4 at home without a draw. HAve scored in last 7 at home.
AWAY TEAM - past fixtures -forthcoming fixtures and likely team - Liverpool
RECENT AWAY FORM - WLLWWWLWDLLWL - 3 away defeats in last 4 against Man City, Bolton, and Man United. The win was against Wolves. Not the most enticing recent away form. Liverpool have beaten 10th, 13th and 15th 0-2 away. A good gauge re 12th? Only 1 draw away from home was against Wigan. Is this an angle in?
RECENT OVERALL FORM - WWDDWLDLWDLL - only 1 win in last 7 for Liverpool again hints at a slight lack of form. Tough recent fixtures against Tottenham, Man Utd and Arsenal.
GOAL TRENDS - 46% overs away from home. 6 overs in last 8 matches. 4 of those overs were courtesy of the opposition scoring 2+.No great shakes scoring away. Top scorer away for Liverpool scored 3.
STREAKS - 4 away without a draw.
CONCLUSION/NOTES/STANDOUT STATS - this is another tough game to decipher. Defeats for Sunderland at home have come against 4th, 5th, 6th and 20th - playing 7th today. 3 home wins in last 4 against Man City, Swansea and Norwich. Overs has a chance it would seem with 62% for Sunderland and 6 overs in last 8 for Liverpool. Liverpool are out of form with 1 win in 7. This is a messy match and one I really cannot get an angle on. Only one draw away for Liverpool enough to lay the draw?
3pm - West Ham v Doncaster - 1.39 home
HEAD TO HEADS

LEAGUE POSITION - 2nd v 23rd - or 2nd top v 2nd bottom
HOME TEAM - -past fixtures, forthcoming fixtures and likely team - West Ham
RECENT HOME FORM - LDWWLWWDWLWWWWDDD - 3 consecutive draws = 6 points dropped. This has to end for West Ham and against 2nd bottom, this logically presents an ideal opportunity for this sequence to end. Only 3 defeats away from home, 2 0-1 against Cardiff and Ipswich care of 89th and 90th minute goals.
RECENT FORM OVERALL - WDLWWWLWDWDWD - only 1 loss in last 10 for West Ham and the last 3 draws have come at home.7 wins in 7 matches against bottom 4. 1-0 win at home v 3rd bottom.
GOAL TRENDS - 47% overs throughout the season. Concede on average 1 per match all season.Have scored 18 and conceded 5 in the first half hour of matches this season. Note that West Ham have not conceded in the 16th to 30th minutes of any matches this season. 4 of last 5 matches overs down largely to the draws. Have failed to score in only 2 of last 19 matches
STREAKS - 3 match home drawing streak. No defeat in 7 at home and 6 overall.

RECENT OVERALL FORM - LLWDLDLLDDW - wins recently against 17th and 21st. Sole win, 1-0 at home against Southampton in 15 matches home and away against top 10. 10 defeats there, and 4 draws.
GOAL TRENDS - 77% overs away from home logically from opponents' ability to score 2+. Have conceded 25 goals in last 1/2 hour of matches. Concede 69% of goals in 2nd half.
STREAKS - have scored and conceded in last 5 overall.
CONCLUSION/NOTES/STANDOUT STATS - 3 consecutive draws must end for West Ham at home and this logically is an ideal match. Doncaster have lost 10 , and drawn 4 of their 15 matches home and away v top 10. Away from home, defeats have been by 2+ goals and they are yet to draw away.
So , no draw away plays 3 consecutive draws at home should equal home win. What do you think? Overs looks logical too as Donny concede 2+ in those away defeats. Perhaps do with over 3.5 goals for value and a little more speculative.

RECENT HOME FORM - WLLLDWWLDLLLL - wins against Fulham, Sunderland and Wigan.4 consecutive home defeats against Chelsea, Villa, Liverpool and West Brom.5 defeats in last 6 at home.
RECENT FORM OVERALL - LLDDDLDLLWLDL - only 5 wins all season and only 1 win in last 13. Against bottom 5 home and away, 3 wins , a draw and a 0-3 home loss v QPR.
GOAL TRENDS - 85% overs at home. Have failed to score in the first 1/4 hour of all matches this season. 2.07 conceded overall on average. Last 6 matches over 2.5 goals.
STREAKS - 4 match home losing streak. Have conceded in last 12 at home and last 24 overall.
AWAY TEAM - past fixtures -forthcoming fixtures and likely team - Blackburn
RECENT AWAY FORM - LDLDDDLLDWDLL - only 1 win away a 2-3 v Man Utd. Against bottom 14 away, 6 score draws and 3 defeats. Could signal both teams scoring today.
RECENT OVERALL FORM - LDWLWDLLWLD - against bottom 5, have lost 2, drawn 2 and won 1 3-2 home win v QPR home and away. inconsistent form of late.
GOAL TRENDS - 70% overs away from home. Average 2.22 conceded per match all season. Have conceded in every match this season. Have failed to score in only 5 this season.
STREAKS - have conceded in last 13 away and last 27 overall.
CONCLUSION/NOTES/STANDOUT STATS -Wolves have conceded in last 24 and Blackburn in last 27 overall. 85% and 70% overs figures suggests the obvious. The only stumbling block being that this is a 6 pointer must win relegation dog fight match!Will Blackburn continue to draw? Will Wolves post the kind of positive results they have collected against bottom 6 sides?
3pm - Atromitos v Doxa Dramas - 1.42 home - 1-0 loss for Doxa again? Refreshingly readable!
HEAD TO HEADS
no head to heads
LEAGUE POSITION- 5th v 16th - Atromitos having a good season.
HOME TEAM - -past fixtures, forthcoming fixtures and likely team - Atromitos
RECENT HOME FORM - DWWWDWWWDLW - only 1 loss at home was a 0-1, and that is the only result , I suggest, that will see a Doxa win.Have played 5 of bottom 6 at home and won all of them. 2 1-0's against 12th and 13th.
RECENT FORM OVERALL - WLWLWDLLDWWW - Struggled to score a goal in 3, but that has changed recently with 1-3-2-2 scored and 3 wins. Unbeaten home and away v bottom 6.
GOAL TRENDS - 27% overs at home. 0.54 conceded at home on average.
STREAKS - have scored in last 4 overall and conceded in last 6 overall. 4 overall without defeat.
AWAY TEAM - past fixtures -forthcoming fixtures and likely team - Doxa
RECENT AWAY FORM - LLLLDLLLWLL - sole win away to 3rd bottom 0-2. Have failed to score in 8 away matches and tight generally against top sides. 6-0 loss to 1st, 1-0 loss to 2nd, 0-0 draw with 4th, 1-0 loss to 6th and playing 5th today.
RECENT OVERALL FORM - LLLWLLWWLLWL - no draw in 12 overall. 3 of last 4 scorelines 1-0.
GOAL TRENDS - 27% overs away from home identical to Atromitos at home. 73% of points are earned at home. Have scored in only 7 of 22 matches this season. Score an average 0.36 away from home.
STREAKS - 6 away without a draw, 12 overall
CONCLUSION/NOTES/STANDOUT STATS - against top sides, yes Doxa unlikely to win, but they go down in tight matches. Under 2.5 goals very obvious. 1st half under 1.5 goals could be a value play. I did this in the last Doxa match. 0-0 back to lay trade and hope that these appalling goals %'s are accurate and Atromitos have trouble scoring.
Atromitos could be backable later in the match if it remains 0-0 for a while. Doxa are unlikely to score away from home and they have only score in 7 of 22 matches all season.
Atromitos could be backable later in the match if it remains 0-0 for a while. Doxa are unlikely to score away from home and they have only score in 7 of 22 matches all season.
