Competition: Cypriot First Division
Market: Both teams score
Opportunities: 8/15 @BetUS
In another action-packed showdown at the Daski Stadium on Tuesday evening, Achna’s AEL Limassol will welcome to the city.
Let’s start with the hosts: Although Achnas has gained a reputation for its robust approach since returning to the top flight this season, Marinos Satsias’ men have been looking for some stability of late. After suffering a second-half collapse and eventual 2-1 defeat away to Nea Sakamis last week, the Achniotes have not picked up a single point in any of their last three appearances in the Cyta Championship. The former APOEL coach, who opened April with another 2-1 defeat against Doxa, will also have a headache due to his team’s ongoing defensive problems. In fact, Achnas has kept just one clean sheet in the top flight in the last 10 consecutive games – a streak that dates back to March 3. However, the hosts made a statement last month with an impressive 6-2 win over Zakakiou and said the hosts will try to pull off another upset here on Tuesday. However, it should be noted that Satsias’ side have ended 11 of their last 12 appearances at the Daski Stadium with both teams getting on the scoresheet.
As for the visitors, AEL may have clearly failed to finish in the top half this season, but Alexis Garpozis’ men are enjoying a prolonged upset. Although the Yellows recently had to make do with a thrilling 2-2 draw at Doxa, the Limassol-based outfit have not suffered a single defeat in any of their last 12 appearances in the top flight – a purple patch that goes the extra mile back to February 21st. But last month’s remarkable 5-4 win over Nea Salamis saw the visitors put together a great run in the final third on Tuesday. Including an outstanding 5-1 win over Zakakiou on April 8, AEL have scored 16 goals in their last five consecutive games alone. With the neutrals known for their hectic encounters at both ends of the pitch, they could be in for a thriller here. Since three of the last four meetings between the opponents on Tuesday ended with both teams getting on the scoresheet, we expect a similar result in midweek.
