Omonia vs Chloraka Match Preview

Omonia Nicosia welcomes Akrita Chlorakas in the fourteenth round of the Cypriot Division 1.

The hosts are coming off an impressive 4-0 home win over Karmiotissa which followed a 2-1 midweek win over the same opponents for the domestic Cup. In the last 3 league games, the "Triphyllophoros" has two wins with 4-0 and one loss with 4-0 against the city rivals, APOEL. With the arrival of the new coach, they are trying to play more aggressively, while at home in six matches they have scored seventeen goals and conceded just three, keeping four clean sheets.

The visitors, on the other hand, were defeated in their away game by Doxa 2-0, but they still have hopes to avoid relegation as they had previously prevailed 2-1 in the decisive game over Paralimni. The newcomers have registered five defeats in the six most recent games, a fact that led them to sack their coach, so in this match, the previous assistant will be their caretaker coach.

In conclusion, I think that Omonia will prevail over Akritas, taking revenge for their loss in the opener, and I expect them to do so with at least a two-goal margin since Akritas rarely scores on the road. The visitors have the worst away attack having scored just two goals in six matches while the hosts have the best home record. I will stake 4 units on Omonia to cover the -1 Asian handicap at 1.70 odds an outcome that I consider to have value.
