Struggling Ethnikos Achna will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Anorthosis in the upcoming league round. It’s 12th vs 2nd and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Ethnikos and Anorthosis.
Ethnikos Achna form and stats
When playing at home in the 1. Division, Ethnikos Achna have managed 1 win, 0 draws and suffered 3 defeats from 4 games. Ethnikos has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager D. Klafuric and the players. Game days at Stadio Dasaki Achnas have recently become somewhat of a nightmare for Ethnikos as they have lost three home games in a row. It hurts.
The Ethnikos crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 1-3 to Olympiakos here at Stadio Dasaki Achnas in a 1. Division match. A strong away win before that one, visiting Aris and winning 4-1.
Ethnikos has scored 4 league goals at home this season, in 4 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 7 goals have been conceded.
Anorthosis form and stats
Anorthosis are yet to lose a point on their 1. Division travels this season with 2 wins from 2 away games.
Anorthosis are travelling after their nice 2-0 home win in the 1. Division against APOEL (placed 9th). Preceding that game was the away victory against Nea Salamis with the score of 4-1.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Anorthosis manager T. Ketsbaia as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Karmiotissa.
Anorthosis have the goal stats of 5-1 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: two - two - six (Ethnikos wins - draws - Anorthosis wins). As for goals, seven matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), three had two or less.Top Goalscorers
