Doxa Katokopia vs Karmiotissa Pano Polemidia Prediction: Away side likely to take all 3 points

Motivated by their exciting win over Apollon in week 1 of the Cyprus 1st Division, Doxa will welcome Karmiotissa to the Stadio Peristerona in Peristerona on Saturday 3rd March 2024. The host is ranked 8th in the league standings heading into matchday 2, while Karmiotissa is ranked 5th heading into the weekend.

This match is expected to be goal-oriented, with both sides scoring goals, based on past performances and data. The narrow winning margins suggest a closely contested encounter that may end in a tie or a narrow victory. An away win is expected although this game is really unpredictable at this stage of the season. 

Doxa Katokopia is looking to triumph once more after defeating Apollon Limassol 0-1 in the First Division. Doxa Katokopia hasn't been making use of their opportunities lately. In their last six games, they have only scored two goals against other teams. Additionally, Doxa Katokopia has allowed nine goals to be scored against them in those contests. We'll just have to wait and see if that pattern continues in this upcoming game, though.

Over the past ten games, Doxa has had three victories, six losses, and one tie. Four of Doxa's last ten games have seen over 2.5 goals, and the remaining six have seen under 2.5 goals. In the last 10 games, Doxa has scored 6 goals. On average, Doxa has been able to score 0.6 goals per game. Additionally, Doxa has given up 17 goals during that time. We now have an average of 1.7 goals given up per game. Doxa has won twice, lost seven times, and drawn once in their previous ten home games.

Following a loss against Ethnikos Achna in their most recent First Division match, Karmiotissa and its travelling supporters will be looking for a better outcome in this one. Averaging 3.67 goals per matchup, Karmiotissa has scored 22 goals in the last 6 games they have played, demonstrating their penchant for high-scoring matches. 14 of these goals have been scored by their rivals.

The last ten games have seen Karmiotissa score 13 goals. Karmiotissa has been successful in scoring 1.3 goals on average each game. During the same time frame, Karmiotissa has also given up 19 goals. This results in an average of 1.9 goals given up each game. There have been eight games with over 2.5 goals and two with under 2.5 goals in Karmiotissa's previous ten games. Over the past ten games, Karmiotissa has experienced three victories, six losses, and one tie. 

When examining the past results between these two teams, it is clear that Doxa Katokopia has struggled mightily in these encounters. Karmiotissa has dominated them, taking home the wins. We believe that in order to win against this Karmiotissa team, which we believe will score a goal and advance, Doxa Katokopia will need to play well. As a result, we anticipate a win for the away side.
