APOEL vs Anorthosis Match Preview

APOEL welcomes Anorthosis Famagusta in Nicosia for the fifteenth matchday of the Cypriot Division 1.

The home side is coming off an important 2-1 away win over league leaders Paphos and have now climbed to the top of the table. After the replacement of their coach, they have registered nine consecutive victories with the natural consequence of having terrific psychology, winning without having a plethora of scoring chances. In the last six games they scored thirteen goals and conceded just two, having also the best defense in the league with just five goals conceded.

The visitors, on the other hand, had a 1-1 draw at home against Olympiakos Nicosia in a match they fought for a long time with a man less on the pitch. However, it is clear that they have a very difficult time getting victories. In the last six, they count only two wins, a draw, and three losses, without scoring in any of these losses. Their best player, Amr Warda, was selected to serve his suspension in this match after completing yellow cards. He will return in the next one which shows that they might consider the game against APOEL as lost.

In conclusion, I think that the match will be like the last ones of APOEL that got the victory without impressing but also without being particularly threatened. I will stake 3 units on the home side to win at 1.75 odds.
