This match features two teams living in the basement of the 1. Division, Nea Salamis holding 14th place and Ermis lying 10th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
It's no vacation for neither Salamis nor Ermis 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 local derby, usually meaning added tension and importance.
