Nea Salamina vs Anorthosis Match Preview

Nea Salamina welcomes Anorthosis as part of the twenty-third matchday of the Cypriot 1.Division in a match where the two teams from Famagusta face each other.

The hosts are coming off another great win after beating Paphos 1-2 away to move up to fifth spot in the table. In the last five league games, Nea Salamina has only wins, including the one against the cup holders, Omonia Nicosia, confirming their impeccable form. In addition, between these five games, they eliminated for the cup competition the first-placed AEK Larnaca with an impressive 4-0.

The visitors, on the other hand, won in their most recent match 4-1 against Omonia, looking much improved after the winter transfers, despite the fact that the final score is outrageous. Anorthosis remain undefeated in the last three league games having collected seven points, however, they remain quite relaxed since they have lost the train for a top-six spot. Away from home they have suffered six defeats in eleven matches, having registered also three wins and two draws. 

In conclusion, I think that this match will have a lot of tension since it is a local derby, but the hosts are more motivated and are in a decent winning streak. I feel that the odds for Salamina to win should be even slightly lower than those of Anorthosis, but it happens the opposite. I will bet 3 units on home win draw no bet at 2.10 odds.
