Ayia Napa will hope to utilise their home advantage to help bridge the gap to today’s opponents. The home side are currently 4 points behind Karmiotissa.
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!
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Karmiotissa have a different surface at their stadium (artificial turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 8-8-19 (win-draw-loss) from 35 matches.

Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the 2. Division game versus ASIL Lysi in only four days. This game is also played here.
