Levadiakos and OFI Crete meet in Levadia with more than just pride on the line. The Super League 1 Conference League group is nearing its conclusion and both teams have plenty to fight for—Levadiakos chasing a spot at the summit, OFI Crete desperate to prove they belong in the conversation for continental places.
A curious twist: despite Levadiakos sitting second, OFI Crete have had the upper hand in recent direct clashes, winning both Cup and league ties this spring. It’s a needle that stings for home fans.
Among all the talent, Marios Vichos for Levadiakos and Thiago Nuss for OFI Crete stand out. Vichos, a defender who scored twice in his last four, loves getting forward on set-pieces. Nuss? Three goals in five—he’s been clinical, dangerous, a constant threat.
Hot stat: In their last five matches, both sides scored exactly eight goals each—yet Levadiakos spread theirs out, while OFI Crete have relied heavily on Nuss’s finishing and Shengelia’s build-up play.

Levadiakos vs OFI Crete prediction
We think Levadiakos to win is the best value bet for this match. Bookmakers lean their way (around 58% probability), and the stats back them up: a strong 67% win rate in their last 30 days, sharper passing, and a more reliable defense at home.
Recent games show Levadiakos pressing high and using their 4-2-3-1 formation to dominate possession, while OFI Crete’s 4-4-2 can get exposed—especially when forced to chase. Still, OFI Crete’s attacking set-up means they won’t die wondering; they play for goals, fouls, corners, always looking to flip the script.
Both teams rack up plenty of fouls and yellow cards (Levadiakos 13, OFI 11 over five games), but Levadiakos play a little more controlled—more passes completed, fewer reckless challenges. Expect that edge to show as the match wears on.
| 🔥Hot Tip: | Over 10.5 corners |
| ⚽Total Goals: | Over 2.5 |
| 💥Both Teams To Score: | Yes |

Team Analysis
Levadiakos come off two thumping wins over Volos (3-0, 5-2), right after being shut down by OFI Crete (0-2). That streak shows a team able to both score freely and hit the wall against a stubborn defense. The last outing against Volos was a statement—five different players got on the scoresheet over those two games.
For OFI Crete, the mood is more volatile. They lost both to Aris Thessaloniki (1-3, 0-2), but sandwiched in a big 3-2 win over PAOK and that 2-0 win against Levadiakos. Nuss has been their lifeline up front, but OFI are fragile at the back—conceded six in the last three.

Pre-game odds and win probability: Levadiakos the favourite
- Moneyline Levadiakos 1.63 | OFI Crete 4.75
- Draw 4.05
- Over/Under Over 2.5 1.91 | Under 2.5 1.83
- BTTS (both teams to score) Yes 1.77 | No 2.00
Bookies see Levadiakos as clear favorites, and it’s tough to argue. Their price for the home win sits around 1.63, with the draw and away win both much longer. Over 2.5 goals is barely better than evens, reflecting both teams’ attacking intent and recent goal-fests. BTTS odds (Yes 1.77) aren’t generous, but neither side keeps clean sheets reliably—hard to see this ending 0-0.
Honestly, OFI’s price is tempting for the high-variance punter, but the hosts have momentum and composure. There’s a reason Levadiakos are priced this short.
Possible Starting Lineups
Levadiakos possible starting eleven
- GK: Yury Lodygin
- DF: Panagiotis Liagas, Triantafyllos Tsapras, Marios Vichos, Giannis Tsivelekidis
- MF: Enis Cokaj, Guillermo Balzi, Lamarana Jallow, Giorgos Nikas
- FW: Fabricio Pedrozo, Sebastián Palacios
Lodygin gets the nod in goal, reliable and experienced. Vichos and Tsivelekidis anchor the back, with Vichos a weapon on set pieces. Cokaj and Balzi control midfield, while Pedrozo and Palacios provide attacking spark. This 4-2-3-1 looks set to control possession and press high. Watch for Vichos and Pedrozo—they could swing the match.
OFI Crete possible starting eleven
- GK: Nikolaos Christogeorgos
- DF: Vasilis Lampropoulos, Achilleas Poungouras, Krešimir Krizmanić, Konstantinos Kostoulas
- MF: Zisis Karachalios, Athanasios Androutsos, Juan Angel Neira, Levan Shengelia
- FW: Thiago Nuss, Eddie Salcedo
Christogeorgos keeps his spot between the sticks. Lampropoulos and Poungouras shore up the defense, while Karachalios and Androutsos give steel in midfield. Up top, Nuss and Salcedo have the firepower—Nuss’s recent form makes him the focal point. OFI likely stick to their 4-4-2, aiming for quick transitions and wide overloads. Watch for Shengelia and Nuss to combine—if they click, Levadiakos could wobble.

TipsGG Match Prediction
Levadiakos to win, with both teams scoring, feels right. Their home form and attacking variety should prove decisive, but OFI Crete have goals in them—Nuss is too sharp to ignore. We think the 4-2-3-1 system for Levadiakos gives them a tactical edge, allowing them to dominate possession and push the tempo. Expect goals, cards, and a match that could twist late if nerves kick in. Maybe a 2-1 or 3-1 home win, but no one should be shocked if it gets wild.
