These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only four days ago in the 1. Division. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at APOEL.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Karmiotissa have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 9-5-20 (win-draw-loss) from 34 matches.

Relegation threatens Ethnikos who should definitely be looking for some points here. Karmiotissa are struggling to avoid relegation.

Ethnikos Achna form and stats

Ethnikos Achna's struggle is real here at Stadio Dasaki Achnas with only 8 points collected from 11 1. Division games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-2-7.

A strong away win for Ethnikos Achna against APOEL the last match, as G. Zakpa (2) and A. Majdevac were on target. Sensational by Ethnikos last match, beating APOEL away as big underdogs. In the match before that, Ethnikos hosted Nea Salamis and drew the game 1-1.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Ethnikos have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found two games) they have won zero times, drawn one and lost one.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Ethnikos as they are travelling to their away game against AEK Larnaca in the 1. Division. That match is four days after this one.

Ethnikos aren't scoring a lot here at Stadio Dasaki Achnas in the league, with only 8 goals from 11 games. It's worth mentioning that 4 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Ethnikos have conceded 18 from these games.

Karmiotissa form and stats

There's been little loot from Karmiotissa's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 11 away games in the 1. Division. Karmiotissa, who have the fewest clean sheets (3) in 1. Division, only have 1 win to counter their 7 defeats and 3 draws. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Karmiotissa are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.

Karmiotissa's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Apollon that finished 1-1. A 1-2 defeat away at Anorthosis before that.

We have checked recent matches where Karmiotissa have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those three games were two victories, zero draws and one defeat.

A quick return to home after this game, as Karmiotissa are hosting Olympiakos in the 1. Division only three days away.

Karmiotissa have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 11 league away games 13 goals have been scored. The Karmiotissa manager C. Michael has some worries about the defense as 23 goals have been conceded in these travels.
