Season ticket holders at Neo GSP haven’t seen too many victories this season, with APOEL languishing in the 10th position so far. The guesting Doxa will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
It's no vacation for neither APOEL nor Doxa as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
This is a match between teams from the same area, a local derby. The community is buzzing.
APOEL form and stats
APOEL have played 4 1. Division games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 1-2-1 (wins-draws-losses).
The APOEL crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-1 to Olympiakos here at Neo GSP in a 1. Division match. Before that, APOEL drew at home versus Apollon.
APOEL are huge favourites in this match and it would be a big surprise if they fail to leave Neo GSP with a victory. The home side has been in this situation before, with huge expectations of a win. 13 earlier games are comparable to this one, and APOEL has won eight times, drawn three and lost two. Sports bettors who like handicap betting will like to know that APOEL has won by at least two goals seven times when in this position.
There will be little rest for APOEL after this match as they are travelling to Nea Salamis for a 1. Division game in only three days.
APOEL are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 4 goals in 4 games. APOEL's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 4 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Doxa form and stats
1 win, 3 draws and 1 loss. That’s the product of Doxa playing as the away team in the 1. Division this season. With three draws in a row for Doxa the feeling in the team is perhaps one of both relief and disappointment. Doxa has drawn their two previous away games.
Doxa have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 326 minutes ago. B. Sadik was the goal scorer. The Doxa goalkeeper Damjan Shishkovski is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 295 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.
Doxa delivered a 0-0 draw playing at home against Ermis (placed 9th) in their previous match; a 1. Division game. Preceding that game, the 0-0 draw paying a visit to Omonia Nicosia.
Nobody expects Doxa to collect anything from a game like this. The team has been David versus Goliath eight times before, with the overall statistics of won one, draw one and lost six. When defeated, four matches have been lost by two or more goals.
Doxa has another fixture away, a 1. Division game, against Paphos in just four days. A tough schedule for the visitors!
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Doxa as they have only managed to score 3 times from 5 away games in the league. Doxa are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 4 times in 5 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
