In this past football match of the First Division, held on 03 September 2023, Apollon Limassol hosted Karmiotissa Polemidion and emerged victorious with a decisive 1-0 victory.

Looking at the key statistical factors from this match, it becomes clear that the defensive prowess of the home team, Apollon Limassol, played a major part in their win. The team managed to counter the attempts of the away team by restricting them to zero goals, maintaining a spotless clean sheet. The single goal of the match was netted by the home team early into the first half at 00:11:35, giving them the advantage right from the start.

As a bettor one must also pay heed to the disciplinary metrics of the match. A noteworthy aspect was the substantial number of yellow cards issued during the game - five in total, three of which were given to Karmiotissa. The timing of the yellow cards shows how the momentum of the game was affected. The away team received two yellow cards (at 00:17:52 and 00:34:47) in the first half, which could have impeded their attacking efficacy and disrupted their game strategy, given that they were already trailing.

The second half saw both teams receiving yellow cards, Apollon Limassol at 01:14:11 and 01:25:27 while the away team at 01:15:08, but these did not seem to affect the final outcome, indicating a determined and disciplined performance by Apollon Limassol.

In terms of corner kicks, Apollon Limassol lead the tally with nine corners, compared to Karmiotissa's five. This could highlight their aggressive attacking demeanor and dominance during the play, repeatedly pressing on Karmiotissa's defensive setup. The propensity to be offside was more with the home team who had 4 offsides, contrasting the away team's 3. Although, this didn’t define the game’s outcome, it does showcase the forward line’s aggression and eagerness, which in this case worked in favour of Apollon Limassol.

All in all, it was Apollon Limassol's defensive solidity, their attitude to maintain discipline even after obtaining yellow cards, harnessing early lead, and maintaining dominance through high number of corner kicks which led them to this crucial victory. As bettors, these factors should be carefully considered when predicting match outcomes.
