Season ticket holders at Makario Stadium haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Olympiakos languishing in the 11th position so far. The guesting Ethnikos Achna will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Olympiakos form and stats
Olympiakos have played three 1. Division home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 3 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. Three draws in a row here at Makario Stadium for Olympiakos, who might be willing to risk more at some point in hope of a win.
Olympiakos lost their last game at Anorthosis (placed 1st) after a 0-4 scoreline. Previous to that game, a Cyprus Cup home match hosting Xylotympou in a game that was won 5-3.
Olympiakos were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.
This is expected to be a close game, with Olympiakos perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Olympiakos as a small favourite), we find two games. Olympiakos has won 1 of these, drawn 1 and lost 0.
Olympiakos are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 4 goals in 3 attempts. 4 goals have been conceded.
Ethnikos Achna form and stats
