Greece – Greek Cup: OFI Crete vs Skoda Xanthi Betting Tip

In the first leg of 1/4 finals in Greek Cup, OFI Crete host Skoda Xanthi.

For this game OFI will have only 15 first team players, because 8 new players who came in January transfer, have no permission to play.

Tsoukanis (def.), Theologou (def.), Kritikos (def.), Savvidis (def.), Aslanides (def.), Moustakis (mid.), Georgopoulos (mid.) and Martsakis (fwd.) are all out.  Right back Moniakis (14/0 d) is also out for this game.

By decision of Greek Football Asosication OFI penalized with 10 points deduction on FIFA sanction and now they are standing at the relegation zone.

For three days are playing an important match against Panathinaikos in Super league.

Their ex-manager Gennaro Gattuso left the club more than one month ago because of very bad financial situation and a financial crisis at the club.

I’ve fought for OFI with all of my strength, even economically: not only have I not received all of my salary, but I have also paid some of the club’s expenses out of my own pocket.” – said their ex coach Gattuso for ESPN FC.

Despite that fact, home team play very solid at home ground.

SKODA Xanthi play very good this season, they are standing at the 7th position and they are definitely better side than OFI.

Karipidis (15/0 d) and Komesidis (6/0 d) are both out.

Skoda Xanthi is a favorite to go through in the 1/2 finals of Greek Cup, but there are two legs, so they could be satisfied to stay undefeated and then at home finish the job.

My prediction is away win, but don’t use max stake. It’s a Cup, if you know what I mean!

OFI Crete vs Skoda Xanthi Betting Tip: 2 @ 1.91 (Bet365)
