A trophy cabinet can never have too much silverware and both AEL and Alki Oroklini know what's at stake in this second leg of the Cyprus Cup 2nd Round clash.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for AEL and Alki Oroklini.
AEL form and stats
Overall 1. Division stats at home this season for AEL are 4-3-1 (wins-draw-losses).
The AEL crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 1-2 to Nea Salamis here in a 1. Division match. Before that match, a Cyprus Cup win away at Alki Oroklini.
The manager D. Kerkez will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to AEK Larnaca in only three days.
The AEL fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 9 in 8 matches. Defensively AEL have been outstanding, conceding less than half a goal on average per home game in the league (4 in 8 games). For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
