National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Alki Oroklini or Ethnikos Achna that keep their silverware dream alive.
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only three days ago in the 1. Division. That game was also an away game, at Enosis. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
Alki Oroklini form and stats
Oroklini have not come this way in the Cyprus Cup without some hard work on the way, more precisely defeating Digenis Ypsonas. Last season, Oroklini's Cyprus Cup journey ended in the 2nd round against AEL.1-2-2 (win-draw-lost) are the 2. Division numbers at home for Alki Oroklini so far this season.
Alki Oroklini drew their last game, 1-1 away at Othellos. Preceding that game was the away draw at Othellos that finished 1-1.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Oroklini as they are travelling to their away game against EN THOI Lakatamia in the 2. Division. That match is three days after this one.
Alki Oroklini has scored 6 league goals at home this season, in 5 matches. Oroklini have conceded 9 from these games.
Ethnikos Achna form and stats
The traveling awayteam has defeated Aris in order to reach 2nd Round of Cyprus Cup. Last season their Cyprus Cup adventure ended in the quarter-finals against Apollon.Ethnikos Achna have only collected 4 points from their away games in the 1. Division, after 0-4-3 (7 played). The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Ethnikos, who have now gone 13 games without a victory. The Enosis game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since.
Ethnikos are looking to quickly end their 290 minutes long goal drought in the 1. Division.
Ethnikos has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Enosis for a 1. Division game that ended a draw (0-0). It was a 1. Division defeat before that one as the away game against AEL wasn't a success with a 0-5 loss.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Doxa in just four days.
The attacking power of Ethnikos Achna when travelling is not overwhelming with 6 goals scored from 7 league matches away. Ethnikos's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 13 goals from these trips.
