Anorthosis form and stats

Anorthosis was eliminated in the 3rd qualifying round last season in the Europa League.

The home stadium (Stadio Antonis Papadopoulos) is supposed to be a fortress, but for Anorthosis it's been a house of straw as the last four games here have all been lost. Can they turn things around?

In their previous game, the manager T. Ketsbaia led his Anorthosis to a defeat in the Europa League match away at Rapid Vienna. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stadio Antonis Papadopoulos.

Before that game, the 2-1 home victory against Olympiakos (after extra-time).
