AEK Larnaca vs APOEL Match Preview

AEK Larnaca welcomes APOEL as part of the 21st matchday of the Cypriot league in a match that is expected to be very close since the two teams that are ahead in the standings face each other.

The hosts are coming off another win after beating Olympiakos 0-2 away to make it eleven wins in the last twelve games with only one false step, the bore draw against Anorthosis on the road a few weeks ago where they also missed a penalty kick. Their undefeated streak has been maintained for a whole round since the last team to beat them was APOEL in the match in Nicosia. AEK, in addition to consecutive three-pointers, also has convincing performances, while at home in ten matches they have nine wins and one draw. The h2h games in Larnaca are also on the side of the home team since in the last six games AEK has registered four wins, one draw, and one loss.

The visitors, on the other hand, won over the last-placed Akrita by 2-0 but they were awarded a controversial penalty to open the score. In their last three games away from Nicosia, they collected four points, showing difficulty in scoring and they signed Ben and Macheda, who are not at their best in the last few seasons.

In conclusion, I think that this match will be quite close but the leader AEK seems to be in better condition so I see value on the home win draw no bet at 1.85 odds and I will stake 3 units.
