Nea Salamis form and stats
3 victories, 2 draws and 4 defeats. That’s what Nea Salamis, who have the most conceded goals (16) at home in 1. Division, have to build on here in the 1. Division.
Salamis shared the glory with Ermis in their last match, an away game that ended all square 1-1. Previous to that game, a home match hosting Doxa in a game that was won 4-3.
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Salamis have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found three matches with the results: Won two, drawn one and lost zero.
Salamis has scored 12 league goals at home this season, in 9 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Salamis defense is not exactly impregnable. 16 goals conceded from 9 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
Paphos form and stats
There's been little loot from Paphos's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 9 away games in the 1. Division. Paphos, who have the fewest scored goals (5) away in 1. Division, only have 1 win to counter their 5 defeats and 3 draws. The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on J. Toshack, the Paphos manager, as the last three away games were defeats.
Prior to that match, the Paphos manager J. Toshack faced defeat when travelling to Ethnikos Achna and losing 1-2.
As mentioned above, Paphos was the only team on the pitch versus Olympiakos in their previous game, winning 5-0. This could be a tougher task.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found four similar matches played by Paphos in our archives, and the results are: one win for Paphos, two draws and one defeat.
The visitors have scored 5 goals from 9 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Paphos have conceded 9 goals in these away matches. It's worth mentioning that 5 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
Head 2 Head
This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; Paphos - Salamis 1-0. As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's six Salamis victories, zero draws and four Paphos wins.
