- APOEL has the fewest dropped points from leading position (2) in 1. Division
- Ermis has the fewest scored goals (10) in 1. Division
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
APOEL form and stats
With {2 1. Division wins}, 2 draws and 4 defeats from their home games, APOEL are certainly not brimming with confidence. It's trouble wherever APOEL are playing these days as they have suffered four straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways. The APOEL manager M. McCarthy might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.
APOEL are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-2 away versus Doxa. Preceding that match was a defeat to Enosis (0-2).
The match schedule is unforgiving for APOEL as they have a new game in only four days, a 1. Division match thankfully also at home. AEK Larnaca are visiting.
APOEL aren't scoring a lot here at Neo GSP in the league, with only 6 goals from 8 games. 10 goals have been conceded. It's worth mentioning that 5 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
Ermis form and stats
The visitors, who have the fewest scored goals (10) in 1. Division, are W3-D3-L3 on the road this term. That's in the 1. Division. The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Ermis, who have now gone ten games without a victory. The Nea Salamis game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since.
Ermis delivered a 1-1 draw playing at home against Nea Salamis (placed 9th) in their previous match; a 1. Division game. Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Olympiakos that ended 0-0.
The visitors have scored 6 goals from 9 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. As opposed to that, Ermis have seen the ball go into their own net 9 times on the road.
Head 2 Head
This is not the first time this season these parties meet, as the history books show this recent fixture: Ermis - APOEL 0-0. As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's eight APOEL victories, two draws and zero Ermis wins. Over/under statistics; four of these games ended with three goals or more, six matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
