Match begins: 17:00 (UTC)
Venue: Stadio Tasos Markou (5800 seats)

Season ticket holders at Stadio Tasos Markou haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Enosis languishing in the 10th position so far. The guesting Paphos will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only three days ago in the 1. Division.

Paphos are still fighting for top positions and their benefits.

Enosis form and stats

With {2 1. Division wins}, 1 draw and 6 defeats from their home games, Enosis are certainly not brimming with confidence. Hopes of three in a row are alive for Enosis after consecutive victories at their own ground.

Enosis enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Apollon's place. The match ended 1-0 with Nico Varela scoring. Sensational by Enosis last match, beating Apollon away as big underdogs. Previous to that game, a home match hosting AEK Larnaca in a game that was won 2-1.

This is expected to be a close game, with Enosis perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Enosis as a small favourite), we find three games. Enosis has won zero of these, drawn one and lost two.

Enosis are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 11 goals in 9 games. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Enosis with 18 goals conceded in these matches.

Paphos form and stats

Paphos have only collected 8 points from their away games in the 1. Division, after 2-2-5 (9 played).

Paphos had fun at their own home (Stadio Tasos Markou) last time out, beating Apollon 3-2. K. Antoniou and Jerson Cabral scored. A home win before that, celebrating 2-0 vs AEL.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Paphos playing away and similar expectations, we found eight relevant matches. Results were two Paphos wins, three draws and three defeats.

The visitors have scored 8 goals from 9 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Paphos have conceded 13 goals in these away matches.

Head 2 Head
