The Kalamata vs Larissa prediction for this Cup match on Sep 17, 2026, points to a home advantage, but recent form suggests a closer contest than the odds imply. Based on our analysis, Kalamata has a 46% chance of winning, the draw is at 34%, and Larissa holds a 20% probability of causing an upset.
Kalamata's last five home matches show a mixed run: W, D, D, L, L. Their most recent result was a convincing 3-1 victory over Volos NFC on Sep 13, but prior to that they suffered a 2-3 loss to Aris Thessaloniki and a 0-2 defeat at Panaitolikos. The two draws came against Atromitos (1-1) and Volos NFC (2-2) in the Cup.
Larissa's away form over the same period reads W, D, L, W, W. They beat Zakynthos 1-0, PAE Athens Kallithea 3-1, and Trikala 2011 4-0, while drawing 1-1 with Anagennisi Karditsas. The only blemish was a heavy 0-4 loss at Olympiacos Piraeus in the Cup. Larissa have scored 9 goals in their last five away games, conceding 6.
In the last five meetings between these teams, Kalamata have won twice and Larissa three times, with no draws. The most recent clash on Aug 19, 2025, saw Larissa win 2-1 at Kalamata's ground. Historically, the head-to-head record slightly favors the away side, which adds intrigue to this fixture.
We calculated the win probabilities by starting with the bookmakers' average odds (home 1.55, draw 2.19, away 5.44) and removing the margin to get fair probabilities. That gave Kalamata roughly 49%, draw 35%, and Larissa 16%. We then adjusted for recent form and head-to-head results. Kalamata's shaky home form (only one win in five) and Larissa's strong away run (three wins in five) reduced the home win probability to 46%, while the draw stayed at 34% and Larissa's chances rose to 20%. Kalamata remains the most likely winner, but the gap is narrower than the raw odds suggest.
Bookmakers see Kalamata as the clear favorite, with home win odds ranging from 1.53 to 1.57. The draw is priced between 2.10 and 2.25, and an away win for Larissa is offered at 5.00 to 6.00. These odds imply a comfortable home victory, but the value may lie in the draw market given both teams' recent tendency to share points. Based on the stats, Kalamata should have enough to edge this, but a low-scoring draw is a very realistic outcome.
