⚔️ Lamia vs Volos: Fight for Survival Reaches Critical Stage

As the Greek Super League Relegation Group enters its sixth round, Lamia host Volos in a matchup that could have serious consequences for both clubs’ top-flight futures. With just a handful of points separating the two sides, and the relegation trapdoor looming, this clash is a genuine six-pointer.

The pressure is immense, and neither team can afford a slip at this stage.

🔵 Lamia in 2025: Grit Over Glamour

Lamia have shown resilience in the early months of 2025. Although not spectacular, they’ve been effective when it matters most — especially at home. Since the start of the year, Lamia have collected 9 points from 5 home games, with crucial wins over Panserraikos (2-1) and Asteras Tripolis (1-0).

Defensively, they’ve tightened up considerably, keeping 3 clean sheets in their last 5 outings.

However, the lack of attacking flair remains a concern. No player has scored more than 2 goals in 2025, and set-pieces have become their primary weapon.

📊 Lamia 2025 Snapshot:

  • ✅ Unbeaten at home in 2025 (W2, D3)

  • 🧤 3 clean sheets in last 5 matches

  • ⚽ Just 6 goals scored in 2025

  • 📉 Currently 11th in the Relegation Group standings

  • 🧠 Coach Leonidas Vokolos focuses on defensive compactness

🔴 Volos in 2025: In Free Fall

The picture is far bleaker for Volos, who’ve endured a nightmare 2025 campaign. Winless in their last seven league matches, they have conceded 13 goals since January and scored only 4 — a ratio that has left them at the bottom of the group.

Their most recent outing, a 0-2 home loss to Atromitos, highlighted familiar issues: lack of midfield control, defensive lapses, and no cutting edge in the final third.

Volos’ away form is a serious worry. They have failed to score in 4 of their last 5 away games and have not picked up a win on the road since December 2024.

📊 Volos 2025 Snapshot:

  • ❌ Winless in 7 matches

  • ⚽ Only 1 goal in last 4 away games

  • 😵 13 goals conceded since January

  • ⬇️ Last in the Relegation Group

  • 🚨 Relegation becoming a very real possibility

🧾 Predicted Lineups

Lamia (4-2-3-1):
Sarri – Adejo, Papadopoulos, Tzandaris, Ba – Stanko, Saramantas – Manousos, Carlitos, Slivka – Tzimas

Volos (4-4-2):
Kotsaris – Luna, Balogiannis, Barrientos, Tsokanis – Matilla, Deletic, Gajic, Rogosic – Kaltsas, Vasic

🔍 Tactical Insight

Lamia will likely play compact and invite Volos to break them down — something the visitors have struggled to do all year. Expect Lamia to aim for set-pieces and long balls to Tzimas or Carlitos for a breakthrough.

Volos may push for possession early but are vulnerable on transitions. Their midfield hasn’t protected the back line effectively, and Lamia could capitalize on that with quick counters or second balls after aerial duels.

🔮 Score Prediction: Lamia 1-0 Volos

Given the form, defensive organization, and home advantage, Lamia have the upper hand. Volos seem out of ideas in the final third and Lamia’s recent clean sheet record suggests another shutout could be on the cards.

✅ Best Bets & Tips

  • ✅ Lamia to Win – Better momentum and home record

  • ✅ Under 2.5 Total Goals – Neither side prolific in attack

  • ✅ Both Teams to Score: NO – Volos failing to score on the road

  • ⚠️ First Half Draw – Cagey start expected

🗣️ Final Word

With the relegation battle intensifying, Lamia have shown they have the discipline to grind out results — something Volos have been severely lacking. Unless Volos can pull off a major turnaround, expect Lamia to inch closer to safety.
