The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Anorthosis are in the 7th position while the guests worry at 12th.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
These teams are so close in distance that this match is special, a derby with local pride the main prize.
Anorthosis form and stats
4-3-4 (win-draw-lost) are the numbers at home for Anorthosis so far this season.The home team returns to venue after sharing the points with Doxa on their last time out; the 1. Division game ended 3-3. Before that, Anorthosis had a home game versus Alki Oroklini which ended with a victory 3-0.

Ermis form and stats
Ermis have only collected 5 points from their away games after 1-2-8 (11 played). It's looking increasingly bleak for Ermis who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. Anorthosis was the last time a defeat was avoided. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Ermis's last three away games as they have all been lost.Two away games in a row for Ermis, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 1-4 versus Paphos in the 1. Division. A 0-4 loss hosting Doxa before that.
The visitors have scored 10 goals from 11 away games, an average of less than one per game. The Ermis manager C. Michael has some worries about the defense as 22 goals have been conceded in these travels.
