Only a few games have been played in the 1. Division so far, with APOEL placed 11th and AEL sitting in the 3rd position.
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
APOEL form and stats
The first 1. Division game here at Neo GSP resulted in a draw. Last season APOEL's home game statistics were 0 victories, 0 draws and 0 defeats from 0 games.
APOEL are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-3 away versus AEK Larnaca. In the game before, an away victory in the Europa League match versus Gjilani (after extra-time) with a 2-0 scoreline.
The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from APOEL's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played two games, won one match, drawn one and lost zero.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the APOEL at home in the league. 2 on target and 2 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.
AEL form and stats
A perfect away game record so far for the visitors in the 1. Division, but they have only played once. Last season their away game stats were 0 wins, 0 draws and 0 defeats from 0 matches.
AEL are travelling after their nice 2-1 home win in the 1. Division against Nea Salamis (placed 12th). Prior to that match, a home win 2-1 against Nea Salamis.
World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager D. Kerkez when M. Antoniou scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 66th minute.
As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and AEL playing away, we found six games. Results were one away win, three draws and two home wins.
As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, AEL has managed 2 goals and let in 1 from 1 match.
Head 2 Head
Last ten meetings between the teams: APOEL won seven, AEL won two and one draw. seven games with over 2,5 goals, three matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
