Doxa take on the visitors AEK Larnaca in the round 14 match of Cyprus First Division. The match will be played on Friday, December 9th at Makario Stadium (Nicosia).
Doxa shows rather familiar modest results. The "Winners", despite the high-profile nickname, cannot really boast of anything in terms of what they have won or conquered. The maximum level of claim can be called not being relegated from Division A. Last season it happened, moreover, as a result, they closed the top 10 of the final standings. Now the results are a bit worse: 3 wins and 11 points in 13 games played. But at the same time, they managed to win in the previous round, for the first time since September. They even played in the cup in autumn, scoring in extra time, and in the championship there were 7 defeats and a draw with Olympiacos from Nicosia.

AEK Larnaca shows very good form. The "Warriors" have never been the champion of the country. But the last few seasons have been good for them. Here are the cups won in 2004 and 2018, and 5 sets of “silver” taken since the 2014/2015 season, including in the last draw. European cups took a lot of strength in this, the Cypriots managed to get to the group in the Europa League, and become 3rd there, ahead of Dynamo Kiev (now in the Conference League they will play with another representative of Ukraine - Dnipro-1, which they have already beat in the summer in qualifying earlier this season). Of course, there were often simply not enough forces for the domestic arena. But now they are trying to catch up with the competitors who have gone into the lead: all 5 recent matches in Division A have been won.
Doxa have not been able to win an official fight since 2012 against AEK. But at the same time, they drew 3 out of 4 meetings with an opponent from Larnaca. Doxa are unlucky to face AEK now as they are in great shape. We bet AEK to win.
Prediction for the match: AEK Larnaca to win.
