The 1. Division season is still fresh and sports bettors should be cautious. This meeting between Olympiakos and Paphos promises to be an interesting one.

Olympiakos form and stats

Olympiakos have less points than they have played home games in the 1. Division so far. Their two previous attempts here have produced 0 points. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Olympiakos, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

The Olympiakos supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Xylotympou in Cyprus Cup and win 4-0. In the preceding match a 1-0 victory visiting Ermis.

As indicated by the result mentioned above, Olympiakos played a great game against Xylotympou and beat them comfortably. Expectations are high for 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 three games. Olympiakos has won one of these, drawn two and lost zero.

At Makareio Stadio, Olympiakos has the goal stats of 2-4 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.
