A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The home fans are optimistic that the difference between 2nd and 12th place in the table will show on the pitch.

Doxa could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Cyprus Cup game only four sleeps ago. That game was also an away game, at Akritas. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.

This is a match between teams from the same area, a local derby. The community is buzzing.
