This could be an interesting match as Paphos have their presumed home advantage while AEL are ahead 7 points in the 1. Division table.
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Cyprus Cup match only three days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Anorthosis.
Paphos form and stats
Paphos have collected 8 points from their 1. Division home games so far after 2-2-1. Two home wins in a row for Paphos bring valid hopes of a third.
Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper Artur Rudko not having conceded a league goal in 284 minutes.
Paphos are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-1 away versus Anorthosis. Before that game, the 3-0 home victory against Karmiotissa.
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 Paphos have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found five matches with the results: Won two, drawn two and lost one.
A decent goal production from Paphos in their home games so far, with 8 goals from 5 league matches. Paphos have conceded 5 in these home matches.
AEL form and stats
2-0-3 is the win-draw-loss statistic for AEL, who have the fewest clean sheets (0) in 1. Division, in their 1. Division matches away.
