A trophy cabinet can never have too much silverware and both Doxa and Ethnikos Achna know what's at stake in this second leg of the Cyprus Cup 2nd Round clash.
These are active days for the hometeam, as they were in action only four days ago in the 1. Division. That game was an away game at APOEL, so at least Doxa are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
