The hosts keep clean sheets in 55% of their home games and hold an xG advantage (2.01 vs 0.9), indicating dominance in home matches. Paphos, despite a solid league position, shows weaker away form with only a 55% win rate and an average of 1.55 goals per match on the road. The recent form of both teams is contrasting - Aris is going through a crisis (0 wins in their last 5 matches), while Paphos averages 2 points per match in the same period.

This, combined with their higher xG and average possession (56% vs 54%), gives them the edge, despite their poorer overall recent form.
