APOEL form and stats

APOEL have played 6 1. Division games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 2-2-2 (wins-draws-losses).

Nothing to worry about in defence for APOEL, as their goalkeeper Joao Miguel Macedo Silva has completely shut out the opponents for 242 minutes in the 1. Division.

It's back home for APOEL, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Nea Salamis away with the result 3-0. O. Atzili and V. Klonaridis (2) found the net in that victory. Ahead of that match, APOEL won a home game hosting Doxa (2-0).

This is expected to be a close game, with APOEL perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with APOEL as a small favourite), we find five games. APOEL has won one of these, drawn three and lost one.

APOEL are traveling soon after this match as the 1. Division match at Karmiotissa awaits in four days.

APOEL has scored 6 league goals at home this season, in 6 matches. From these home matches, APOEL have conceded only 5 goals.
