AEL and Anorthosis are both riding high in the 1. Division with their 2nd and 4th positions respectively. Expect a great game!
- AEL have the most scored goals in the first half (31) in 1. Division
- Anorthosis is in the worst form (0-1-5)
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
AEL are done competing for places this season; they will remain in 2nd place whatever happens now. Anorthosis are staying put at 4th place whatever happens for the rest of the season.
