Xylotympou get ready to welcome Omonia Nicosia for something different than the ordinary league football: The Cyprus Cup 2nd Round leg 1 of 2.

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the 1. Division. That game, against Apollon, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Omonia Nicosia.

Xylotympou form and stats

Last season, Xylotympou's Cyprus Cup journey ended in the 1st round.

The story so far in the 2. Division for Xylotympou at their home stadium (Stadio Tasos Markou) is 4 wins, 0 draws and 4 defeats.

Xylotympou are anxiously hoping for a goal as it's been 182 minutes since the last one in league fixtures. (Scored by Kallenos).

Xylotympou lost their last game at Akritas after a 0-3 scoreline.

Preceding that match was a 2. Division defeat to Olympiada Lympion (0-1).

There will be little rest for Xylotympou after this match as they are travelling to Omonia Aradippou for a 2. Division game in only three days.

The Xylotympou fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 13 goals in 8 league matches. Xylotympou have conceded 11 in these home matches.

Omonia Nicosia form and stats

They also participated in Cyprus Cup last season. This ended in the quarter-finals, when APOEL drew the shortest straw.

Omonia Nicosia have only collected 7 points from their away games in the 1. Division, after 2-1-6 (9 played).

Nicosia lost away at Apollon (0-2) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick.

That result followed a home victory 1-0 versus Olympiakos in the 1. Division.

Again, the away team are huge favourites in this match and any other result would be an upset. We checked our Tipsway database for earlier, recent games with Omonia Nicosia given similar win odds in an away game. 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.

A new game in only four days for Nicosia, the 1. Division home match versus PAEEK. Busy days.

The attacking power of Omonia Nicosia when travelling is not overwhelming with 8 goals scored from 9 league matches away. 13 goals have been conceded by Omonia Nicosia in these games.
