Peyia form and stats

The loot brought home from travels has not been plentiful for Peyia as they have only collected 2 points from their 12 away games. Peyia only has 0 wins to counter their 10 defeats and 2 draws. The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Peyia, who have now gone 18 games without a victory. The Ethnikos Latsion game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since. Bitter travels for Peyia as they have lost five games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Ormideia.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a 3. Division home defeat versus Digenis Morphou with 1-6 on the scoreboard. Prior to that match, the Peyia manager faced defeat in their match when travelling to APEA and losing 0-4.

The visitors have scored 11 goals from 12 away games, an average of less than one per game. The Peyia manager has some worries about the defense as 30 goals have been conceded in these travels. People interested in "over 2,5 goals" betting will like to know that Peyia concede an average of more than 2,5 goals per away match all on their own.
