Doxa are at the edge of relegation in this season as the side occupies the last place in the standings with 31 points gained being the main contender for the relegation to the Division 2. Having started in 1/16 stage of the Cyprus Cup, Doxa knocked out Ermis 3:2, Anagennisi Derynia 2:1, 3:0, Ol Nicosia 1:1, 2:1 and were defeated by APOEL in the first-leg match of the semi-final with 0:2 scoreline. In 2016 the team only lost on the roads, while in 2017 it became to pick up points permanently.
In this season all three head-to-heads between APOEL and Doxa ended in favour of the side from Nicosia with the same 2:0 scoreline. Besides, the opponents' level of football is simply incomparable. Plus the visiting side should rather think about its situation in the First Division rather than about the game in the Cyprus Cup after the first-leg loss, nevertheless, the hosts are unlikely to thrash the visitors.
Prediction for the match: Under 3.0 scored goals.
