Paphos hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 13 points and a 10th position in the 1. Division table. Visiting Olympiakos holds 8th place with 16 pts.
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!
Paphos form and stats
2-2-3 (win-draw-lost) are the 1. Division numbers at home for Paphos so far this season.
Paphos are anxiously hoping for a goal as it's been 302 minutes since the last one in league fixtures. (Scored by P. Arajuuri).
Paphos's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-1 versus Nea Salamis (placed 6th). Before that, Paphos played out a 1. Division draw 0-0 when visiting Omonia Nicosia.
This is expected to be a close game, with Paphos perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Paphos as a small favourite), we find five games. Paphos has won 3 of these, drawn 1 and lost 1.
The manager J. Toshack will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Ethnikos Achna in only four days.
Paphos aren't scoring a lot here at Stelios Kyriakidis in the league, with only 5 goals from 7 games. Paphos have conceded 9 in these home matches.
Olympiakos form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Olympiakos so far with only 6 points returning home. The records show 1-3-4 (win-draw-lose).
There were no winners in Olympiakos's previous match, a Cyprus Cup home game that ended 0-0 vs Anorthosis (placed 1st). A loss against Apollon was the result prior to that, in a 1. Division home game.
Olympiakos are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 12 times in 8 away games so far. Olympiakos have conceded 17 goals in these games.
