Match context and tone-setting
Levadiakos return to Stadio Levadias on January 11 looking to extend a rich vein of form that has them sitting in fourth place after 15 rounds of the Super League. The home side have been prolific in front of goal this season — 36 strikes in 15 matches — and they bring a confidence that is reflected both in recent results and in the bookmakers’ pricing. Volos NFC, by contrast, have been more streaky: flashes of brilliance, such as a 6-0 win over Egaleo, are offset by a heavier concession rate and a recent cup exit to Kifisia. The clash promises bite and the kind of high-tempo Greek top-flight football that makes mid-January fixtures feel like cup finals.
How form, numbers and venue shape the outlook
Levadiakos arrive with seven wins, two draws and a single loss in their last ten, a run that includes a 3-0 home demolition of Larissa and a 2-0 win at Panserraikos. Those results underline a team that converts opportunities — home goal figures (24 scored, 9 conceded) show balance between attacking intent and defensive resilience. Volos’s campaign is more polarized: eight wins overall but six losses and just one draw, their away record yielding ten goals but also 11 conceded. In their previous Super League meeting this season Levadiakos were the victors again, taking a 2-1 away win at Volos, which gives this fixture a psychological edge for the visitors when returning to Levadia.
Referee Anastasios Papapetrou will take charge at the compact Stadio Levadias (capacity 5,915), where Levadiakos often find rhythm quickly. Statistically the hosts average more attacks and dangerous plays per match than Volos — a factor that often translates into sustained pressure and the kind of territorial advantage that favours a home result.

Prediction and betting suggestion
Bookmakers make Levadiakos the clear favorite (1.61) and the data supports that view: stronger home attacking output, superior recent form and a prior head-to-head victory this season. Volos can strike on the counter and have shown they can score away, but their defensive inconsistencies and recent cup disappointment tilt the balance.
Betting suggestion: Back Levadiakos to win in the 1X2 market (Home @ 1.61). This selection blends bookmaker probability with form and home advantage; it’s the clearest single-market value from the available data.
