Doxa form and stats
Overall 1. Division stats at home this season for Doxa are 3-3-2 (wins-draw-losses).
The fans are hoping that Doxa will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 3-4 away loss in the 1. Division game against Nea Salamis (placed 9th). The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus Olympiakos.
As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?
Doxa has scored 11 league goals at home this season, in 8 matches. 9 goals have been conceded.
APOEL form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their 1. Division travels is 2 wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats. It's a growing despair in APOEL as they have recorded three consecutive losses.
APOEL are looking to quickly end their 281 minutes long goal drought in the 1. Division.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a 1. Division home defeat versus Enosis with 0-2 on the scoreboard. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Karmiotissa wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Ermis in just four days.
The attacking power of APOEL when travelling is not overwhelming with 5 goals scored from 7 league matches away. It's worth mentioning that 3 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (6 so far).
