AEL Larissa vs OFI Crete Prediction & Betting Tips (24 November)

AEL Larissa enter their clash with OFI Crete under pressure to rediscover consistency in the Greek Super League. Over the past two months, Larissa have endured a difficult run, suffering defeats against Panetolikos (3-0 on November 8) and Levadiakos (2-0 on November 2), while also losing heavily to Volos (5-2 on October 4). Their only bright spot came with a 2-0 away victory against Panserraikos on October 25, which briefly lifted spirits. Off the pitch, Larissa have seen squad changes, including departures of players such as Siatravanis and Trimmatis, signaling a reshaping process. The team’s form remains inconsistent, but their home support at the AEL FC Arena is expected to play a crucial role in this upcoming fixture.

OFI Crete, meanwhile, have also struggled in recent weeks, enduring a string of losses that highlight their defensive vulnerabilities. They fell 1-0 at home to AEK Athens on November 9, were beaten 3-0 by Asteras Tripolis on November 3, and lost 3-1 to Atromitos on October 25. Their only notable success came earlier in October when they defeated Aris Thessaloniki 3-0 at the Pagritio Stadium, showing glimpses of attacking strength. News around the club has focused on their need to stabilize performances, with coach and players emphasizing resilience after repeated setbacks. Despite their struggles, OFI remain capable of producing surprises, especially when their midfield finds rhythm and their forwards capitalize on counterattacking opportunities.



The head-to-head context adds intrigue, as both sides are desperate for points to climb away from the lower half of the table. Larissa’s recent home defeats to Olympiacos and Levadiakos underline their fragility, but they have shown they can respond with determination, as seen in their win at Panserraikos. OFI’s away record has been poor, with heavy losses to Panetolikos and Asteras Tripolis, yet their victory against Aris demonstrated they can rise to the occasion. News coverage in November has highlighted the pressure on both managers, with fans demanding improved results. This fixture is not just about three points but about restoring confidence and momentum for the remainder of the season.

Considering the recent form and the urgency surrounding both clubs, this match promises intensity and drama. Larissa will look to exploit OFI’s defensive lapses, while OFI will aim to counter through quick transitions. The balance of play suggests a close contest, but Larissa’s home advantage and their occasional bursts of attacking quality could tilt the outcome. With both teams struggling yet capable of producing moments of quality, the prediction leans toward a narrow Larissa victory. The anticipated correct score is 2-1, reflecting the likelihood of goals on both sides but ultimately favoring the hosts in a hard-fought encounter.
