Doxa ranks 6th in the First Division, with 26 points in 17 championship games. The hosts have a very good time with 3 successes in the last 4 stages. After a white draw with AEL Limassol on their own, Doxa managed to beat Nea Salamis on the way with a score of 1-0. . Finnish B. Sadik is the team’s top scorer in the championship, and has managed to score 7 times so far. The Doxa players prove inconsistent when it comes to home games, with 2 defeats in the last 5 disputes in front of the supporters. The hosts are good at the offensive, with 27 goals scored, but the defense defeats sometimes, the team sells 22 goals.

On the other side, Anorthosis is ranked second in the league’s first league in Cyprus, with the team managing to gather 36 points after 17 stages. The guests traveled very well, with 3 consecutive successes in the championship. Besides, they defeated the modest PO Xylotympou 2006 in the Cyprus Cup with the score of 2-1.

African Camara is the best scorer in the championship, with 5 goals scored so far. Anorthosis has a good series of matches played on the Doxa field, with 4 successes recorded in the last 5 trips here. The guests have one of the safest defenses of the championship, the team having only 12 goals scored in 17 games.

Anorthosis is just one of the prestigious title candidates this season, with only one defeat so far. On the other side, Doxa is on a steep rise, and a success in this duel would strengthen his play-off position. The morale of the guests is also a good one, and the history of the direct matches recommends a good match for them. Anorthosis should not be underestimated in spite of the defeat at the last stage, so I will rely on a gaping goal.
