Ermis form and stats

The loot brought home from travels has not been plentiful for Ermis as they have only collected 5 points from their 11 away games. Ermis only has 1 win to counter their 8 defeats and 2 draws. Recent form does not give Ermis much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Paphos will be a tough nut to crack.
