Larissa vs Atromitos: match statistics

Atromitos are the favorites for this match: the visitors have scored 42 goals this season versus Larissa's 30, and in the last 5 matches Atromitos have scored 12 goals and won 3 of 5, while Larissa have 0 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss with only 4 goals. On the road Atromitos average 1.35 goals per game with a 14% conversion rate, whereas Larissa at home average 0.88 goals with a 7% conversion despite 12.35 shots and 3.82 shots on target per game, highlighting the hosts' poor finishing. Defensively the visitors are superior – Atromitos concede 1.06 goals away and have 41% clean sheets, while Larissa concede 1.53 at home and have only 18% clean sheets. The difference in expected chances is small (xG 1.33 for Larissa at home vs 1.08 for Atromitos away), but better shooting efficiency, the season goal advantage (42 vs 30) and superior recent points average over the last 5 matches (1.8 pts vs 0.8 pts) argue in favor of an Atromitos win.

I pick "BTTS - Yes" because Larissa has a seasonal BTTS rate of 59% and BTTS in the last 5 matches is 80%, while Atromitos has BTTS of 60% in their last 5 — recent form indicates frequent both-teams-to-score. Larissa scores 1.12 goals per match this season and concedes 1.29, with a tally of 30 scored and 52 conceded, highlighting home defensive vulnerability. Atromitos have scored 42 goals this season and netted 12 in the last 5 matches (2.4 avg), with a recent xG of 1.48 and shot conversion of 14% versus Larissa's 9%, so the visitors are a genuine goal threat. Against this, Atromitos keep a clean sheet in 41% of matches this season, and the league has an overall BTTS level of 48%, which gives a real chance of one side being shut out. Considering the high recent BTTS (80% vs 60%), Larissa's weak defense (52 conceded) and Atromitos' good finishing, I assess BTTS at around 65% versus 35% for "No Goal."

Forecast based on xG and goal statistics: Larissa has an average attacking xG of 1.32, while Atromitos’ defense concedes 1.46 xG per match, yielding expected home goals of approximately 1.39. Atromitos’ attacking xG is 1.08 and Larissa concedes 1.26 xG, thus expected away goals are around 1.17, totaling ~2.56 goals. Seasonal Over 1.5 rates are 71% (Larissa) and 65% (Atromitos), so the Over 1.5 projection is set at 68% versus 32% for Under as the strongest signal. Over 2.5 has moderate support (seasonal 53%/47% and our projected 54%), while Over 3.5 remains unlikely (seasonal 24%/24%, projection 24%). I select Over 1.5 as the best line due to combined xG 2.56, the high Over 1.5 percentages and Atromitos’ form — 12 goals in the last 5 matches (2.4 per match).

Data analysis shows an away advantage: Atromitos led at the break in 3 of their last 5 matches (60%) and won 3 of 5 (60%), with average first-half goals 1.2 versus 0.2 for Larissa. After the break the visitors score an average of 0.71 goals, while the hosts only 0.29, and Larissa conceded as many as 8 goals in the 46–60 minute window, increasing the risk of a quick goal after the restart. Although the hosts’ xG is slightly higher (1.32 vs 1.08), Atromitos have better shot conversion (14% vs 9%), meaning they convert chances into goals more effectively. Larissa have not won any of their last 5 matches (0% wins), while the visitors have a 60% win rate in that period, so the most likely scenario is the visitors leading at the break and ultimately winning (HT/FT 2/2).
