AE Zakakiou vs APOEL FC vs AEL Limassol Prediction: A win is expected of the away side

On April 8 at 19:00 (GMT+3), the eighth game week of the 2023–2024 season, AE Zakakiou will play AEL in an interesting match that promises to light up the Stadyen Belita–Vitex. Focusing our attention on the available statistical playground, we are eagerly awaiting a matchup that will pique interest beyond the obvious.

The fact that AE Zakakiou is the underdog shows how difficult it has been for them to use home advantage this year. With an average xG (anticipated goals) of 1.06 compared to an xG of 1.79, their home performance metrics fall short of expectations. This disparity highlights a weakness in their defence and translates into a victory rate of just 6% at home, which bodes ill for their campaign.

Glancing at AEL's chances of victory suggests a possibly less treacherous route. Outside of their stronghold, AEL represents a jumble of results, with an average xG of 1.15 compared to an xG of 1.52. Their away record is 20% when they win, but a startlingly high 60% when they lose, reveals a voyage marred by hardship.

In conclusion, AEL's stories away haven't been representative of supremacy either, even though AE Zakakiou's native land hasn't exactly been a stronghold.
