AEL form and stats

7 victories, 1 draw and 5 defeats. That’s what AEL have to build on here at Tsirion Athlítiko Kentro in the 1. Division. With three draws from their last three games overall it has been a case of neither great nor terrible for AEL.

A draw after 90 minutes last time out for AEL, who played 3-3 against Nea Salamis. That match was also played at this venue (Tsirion Athlítiko Kentro). Opportunity lost for AEL in the Nea Salamis match as a lead 3-1 was lost and what looked like a victory ended in a draw.

A 1-1 draw away before that, with Olympiakos the opponent.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how AEL have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 10 games) they have won 9 times, drawn 0 and lost 1.

Low-scoring affair? Looking at this club's last 24 league games, 19 have had zero, one or two goals.

Nea Salamis form and stats

6-0-7 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Nea Salamis in their 1. Division matches away.

It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to AEL in their previous outing. The match ended in a draw 3-3. As you can tell from the result, the match against AEL was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Akritas wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.

Nea Salamis are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 1 win, 2 draws and 2 defeats. From a total of 5 matches.

The attacking power of Nea Salamis when travelling is not overwhelming with 11 goals scored from 13 league matches away. As opposed to that, Nea Salamis have seen the ball go into their own net 17 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

AEL have pulled off a streak of 4 consecutive games without defeat (2-2-0) when facing Nea Salamis.

This isn't the first time these two teams meet this season, as the statistics show this recent fixture: AEL - Nea Salamis 3-3.
