AEK Larnaca vs APOEL: match statistics
AEK Larnaca displays impressive home form with a 62% win rate and only 15% losses at their own stadium, scoring an average of 2.08 goals per match. The hosts occupy a higher league position (2nd place) and have a better goal difference at home (+15) than APOEL away (+11). APOEL, despite a solid 54% away win rate, shows inconsistency overall in their last five matches (1.8 PPG vs 1.6 PPG for AEK). The key factor is AEK's advantage in possession (59% vs 52%) and slightly better defensive efficiency at home (0.92 goals conceded vs 1.15 for APOEL away). Recent form of both teams is even, but the home advantage and AEK Larnaca's home statistics give them a slight edge, although a draw remains a realistic scenario in this evenly-matched clash.
