Apollon Kalamarias F.C. - Kallithea

Kallithea ordered to play one home match behind closed doors

The disciplinary body DEAB has punished Kallithea with one home match behind closed doors. The decision stems from the Super League 2 match against Panionios on 8 November, during which home fans threw two firecrackers in the stands. No one was reported injured.

The sanction applies to a home fixture, and at home Kallithea have won five and drawn one of their six league matches, losing none. Their next match is away at Apollon Kalamarias in the Greek Super League 2, where their road record reads one win, one draw and two defeats from four. In the table Kallithea are second with 20 points from 10 matches, having won six, drawn two and lost two.

Michalis Manias on 6 of Kallithea's 12

Through Michalis Manias, Kallithea have found 6 of their 12 goals.

On 20 points, Kallithea are the nearest challengers at the top of the table. Defending has been a clear strength for the visitors, who have conceded only 2 across their past five matches.

Nothing in Apollon Kalamarias F.C.'s recent form offers encouragement after 4 straight defeats. League standings make stark reading for the hosts, who are 14 of 16 and in the bottom three. Even the hosts' leading scorers, Georgios Tsapakidis and Dimitris Kyriakidis, have only 2 each, such is the spread.

Close to the summit, Kallithea stand in sharp contrast to Apollon Kalamarias F.C., who are near the foot.
