Ermis form and stats

There's been little loot from Ermis's travels as they have only collected 12 points from 13 away games in the 1. Division. Ermis, who have the fewest scored goals (18) in 1. Division, only have 3 wins to counter their 7 defeats and 3 draws. The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on D. Daskalakis, the Ermis manager, as the last three away games were defeats.

Ermis might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Paphos proved too strong as Ermis slumped to a 1-2 defeat in front of their own fans at N. Papas Group Ammochostos-Epistrofi.

Prior to that match, the Ermis manager D. Daskalakis faced defeat when travelling to Ethnikos Achna and losing 0-2.

The attacking power of Ermis when travelling is not overwhelming with 8 goals scored from 13 league matches away. Ermis have conceded 19 goals in these away matches.
