An important duel in the bottom section of the 1. Division, with both Nea Salamis and Ethnikos Achna experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 14th and the visitors in 13th place.
Nea Salamis and Ethnikos Achna should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
Nea Salamis form and stats
The story so far in the 1. Division for Nea Salamis at their home stadium is 1 win, 0 draws and 3 defeats. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Nea Salamis with their five defeats in a row. Not since the Enosis game, 50 days ago, have they avoided a loss. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Salamis, their manager P. Christodoulou and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.
Salamis are anxiously hoping for a goal as it's been 321 minutes since the last one in league fixtures. (Scored by N. Varela).
The Nea Salamis crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-1 to Ermis here in a 1. Division match. Heartbreak before that as Salamis lost 0-3 at Apollon's place.
The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Salamis matches with similar probabilities have ended with three wins, two draws and two defeats (from seven games).
Salamis are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 4 goals in 4 games. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Nea Salamis defense is not exactly impregnable. 7 goals conceded from 4 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
