National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's PAEEK or Doxa that keep their silverware dream alive.
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 PAEEK and Doxa.
PAEEK form and stats
Last season their Cyprus Cup adventure ended in the 1st round.The story so far in the 2. Division for PAEEK at their home stadium (Makareio Stadio) is 1 win, 0 draws and 0 defeats. In general it's been a long time since PAEEK tasted defeat here at Makareio Stadio, as they have taken at least one point from their last twelve home games in the league.
Despite playing at their own arena the home team are massive underdogs in this game. The home fans will enjoy their drinks and snacks knowing that the chances of a positive outcome are very slim. When PAEEK have been in this position before, they have won zero, drawn zero and lost one from one game. one defeat by at least two goals.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for PAEEK as they are travelling to their away game against EN THOI Lakatamia in the 2. Division. That match is three days after this one.
PAEEK has scored 3 goals so far and conceded 0 goals from 1 home game. These are numbers from the league only.
Doxa form and stats
Doxa's mission in Cyprus Cup last season failed in the quarter-finals against Omonia Nicosia.Doxa are still undefeated on their travels in the 1. Division. They have only played two games though, winning one and drawing the other.
Doxa play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 2-1 victory visiting Olympiakos. Ahead of that match was the 1. Division away draw versus Apollon that ended 1-1.
Doxa made it very difficult for themselves in their last game, D. Trajchevski receiving a red card in the 51st minute. The match was still a draw at this point. But even with this card, Doxa won the match 2-1!
Again, the away team are huge favourites in this match and any other result would be an upset.

This check revealed one match with one win as expected, zero draws and zero surprise home wins. The favourites won one of these games by at least two goals.
