Olympiakos Nicosia vs Anorthosis Match Preview

Olympiakos Nicosia faces Anorthosis for the 3rd round of the play-offs in Cypriot First Division.

Olympiakos Nicosia finished 6th in the regular season and secured their presence in the big league for the next season. The point difference with the teams above is huge, and virtually they have no hopes to fight for a ticket for the next season's European competitions. In the first two rounds, Olympiakos Nicosia lost twice, playing against the league leaders, Omonoia, and the weak AEK Larnaca.

Anorthosis, on the other hand, struggles to reach the first spots and get closer to the league title, while they target for a European ticket as well. After two draws against Omonoia and Apollon Limassol, Anorthosis will give their best tonight to get a positive result and reduce their distance from the teams above and keep their hopes alive for a European ticket. 

In the regular season of the league, Anorthosis won 2-0 and 3-0 against Olympiakos Nicosia.

Anorthosis is by far the better side and deserves to be the favorite to win here. I think that the away win is a decent pick here, offered at 1.53 odds.
