Match description

I predict a home win for AEL. At home AEL scores an average of 1.47 goals per match and registers 3.47 shots on target with a conversion rate of 14%, while Anorthosis away manages only 0.64 goals per match, 2.36 shots on target and an 8% conversion. The hosts create more chances (10.47 shots vs 8.0) and maintain higher possession (53% vs 49%), which should give them control of the match. Defensively AEL concedes 1.27 goals at home versus 1.43 conceded by Anorthosis away, and average xG also favour AEL (xG for 1.32 vs 1.07 for the visitors, xG against 1.03 vs 1.36). Although in the last 5 matches AEL averages 1.4 points per game and Anorthosis 1.6, the high percentage of away matches without a goal for the visitors (57% vs 27% for the hosts) increases the likelihood that AEL will capitalise on home advantage.
