Nea Salamis vs Paphos Match Preview

Nea Salamina welcomes Paphos in the ninth round of the Cyprus championship.

The hosts are coming off a 1-0 away defeat against AE Limassol and while the score was 0-0 until the eightieth minute of the match. They are a well-rounded team that emphasize in their defensive duties away from home and conceded just two goals at home in four games. Their last six games have all been under 2.5 goals and having scored just three times they have seven points.

The visitors, on the other hand, are enjoying the solitude of the top after Henning Berg built a team that hardly gets in danger at the back and scores without creating a flurry of chances. The absence of Jairo who is the top scorer of the league is expected to cost as the visitors do not have a clear striker on which to base their game. Paphos have the best defense in the league as they have only conceded twice and the best attack scoring twenty times.

In conclusion, both teams emphasize in not conceding goals, but Paphos always finds a way to score. In the absence of their top scorer I believe that the score will not grow and I will bet 7 points on under 2.5 goals at odds of 1.78 which I consider high.
