This could be an interesting match as AEL have their presumed home advantage while Apollon are ahead 9 points in the 1. Division table.
The visiting Apollon played their last game only four days ago, a Cyprus Cup match. That game, against APOEL, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Apollon.
The season is still full of potential for AEL as they can still win the whole 1. Division.
AEL form and stats
AEL have played 8 1. Division games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 4-3-1 (wins-draws-losses).
In their previous game, the manager D. Kerkez led his AEL to a defeat in the 1. Division match away at AEK Larnaca. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Tsirion Athlítiko Kentro. Before that game, the 2-1 home victory against Alki Oroklini.
AEL has scored 9 league goals at home this season, in 8 matches. As for guarding their own goal, AEL have only let in 4 goals at home.
Apollon form and stats
The visitors are W3-D1-L3 on the road this term. That's in the 1. Division. Impressively, the visitors are on a seven-match winning run which they hope continue versus AEL. It’s been three wins in a row for Apollon on their travels, an amazing performance which inspire hopes of making this one the fourth consecutive victory.
It's the second away game in a row for Apollon, but there's smiles all around after the 2-1 victory versus APOEL (placed 4th) in the Cyprus Cup last time out. A home win before that, celebrating 3-2 vs Ethnikos Achna.
The end of the last match, against APOEL, was very satisfying as I. Pittas scored the winning goal deep into overtime.
Apollon find the net in their away games, although not all the time. 7 goals from 7 away fixtures in the league. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (5 so far).
