Doxa and AEL have both delivered a "par" performance so far, to use a golfing expression. Both hold mid-table positions in the 1. Division.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Doxa form and stats
Seven points from three 1. Division home games is a great start for Doxa, who are hoping to build on that form here at Makareio Stadio.
Doxa's previous game was a 1. Division match also played at home, ending 2-0 versus Nea Salamis (placed 13th). The home side are looking to build on that result. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting AEK Larnaca (0-2).
There will be little rest for Doxa after this match as they are travelling to Enosis for a 1. Division game in only four days.
Goals decide football matches and Doxa are scoring many of them at home; 7 on target from 3 league matches. Doxa's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 4 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
AEL form and stats
As the visiting team in 1. Division matches, AEL have produced an overall stat of 1-0-3 so far. Three consecutive losses in away matches means AEL are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.
The supporters enjoyed AEL's previous game versus Enosis (placed 14th), a 1. Division 4-1 win played at home. Preceding that game, the 0-3 loss visiting Omonia Nicosia's place.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting AEL as they have only managed to score 3 times from 4 away games in the league. AEL's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 7 goals from these trips.
Head 2 Head
Last ten meetings between the teams: Doxa won one, AEL won seven and two draws. five games with over 2,5 goals, five matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
