The Apollon & AEL managers S. Avgousti and D. Kerkez are both dreading and looking forward to this decisive game in the upper regions of the 1. Division league table.
- Apollon has the most scored goals (21) in 1. Division
- AEL has the most matches over the total-line (8) in 1. Division
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Cyprus Cup. That game, against AEK Larnaca, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for AEL.
Apollon form and stats
Overall 1. Division stats at home this season for Apollon, who have the most scored goals (21) in 1. Division, are 3-1-1 (wins-draw-losses).
It's back home for Apollon, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating AEK Larnaca away with the result 2-1. N. Diguiny and I. Pittas found the net in that victory. Ahead of that match, Apollon lost 1-2 at home to Karmiotissa.
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 Apollon's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played six games, won three matches, drawn two and lost one.
A decent goal production from Apollon in their home games so far, with 8 goals from 5 league matches. Apollon are not conceding a lot of goals here at Tsirion Athlítiko Kentro in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 4 from 5 matches.
AEL form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for AEL so far with only 6 points returning home. The records show 2-0-4 (win-draw-lose).
Two travels in a row for AEL, whose manager D. Kerkez could celebrate last time after the Cyprus Cup win against AEK Larnaca. Before that, AEL secured a home win against Anorthosis with the score 1-0.
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 seven games. Results were one away win, three draws and three home wins.
The attacking power of AEL when travelling is not overwhelming with 5 goals scored from 6 league matches away. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as AEL have conceded 9 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
