Command Analysis

Omonia 29 Maiou

Current form
The Omonia 29 Maya club was founded on May 29, 2018, breaking away from the main Omonia. This date is reflected in the name of the club. In just six years, the team managed to go from amateur competitions to the Premier League. In their first season in the elite, the hosts have shown weak results so far - in seven matches they managed to earn only two points, drawing with Karmiotissa (1:1) and APOEL (0:0). The Greens lost the rest of the championship games. So far, the newcomer to the top league occupies the last place in the table. The only reason for joy was the victory over Halkanoras (1:0) in the 1/16 finals of the Cyprus Cup.
Disqualifications and injuries
The hosts have no losses in their squad before the match with Pafos.
Interesting trends for betting
- The team has suffered four defeats in its last five home matches.
- The hosts have won only one of their last nine matches.
Probable lineup : Broll - Deslandes, Enem, Fiakas, Gabriel Ramos, Conomis, Trujic, Wheeler, Faku, Fernandez, Haylen

Pafos FC

Current form
Pafos finished only fifth in the last edition of the Cyprus Championship, but they managed to win the country cup, beating Omonia 3-0 in the final. The trophy they won allowed the visitors to start their European campaign in the Europa League, but they failed to achieve success there - in the first qualifying round, the team suffered a heavy defeat to Swedish Elfsborg (0-3, 2-5). However, they were luckier in the Conference League. Juan Carcedo men managed to beat Lithuanian Zalgiris, Bulgarian CSKA 1948 and Romanian CFR Cluj on their way to the main stage. The team is also performing well there - in the first round, they managed to beat Moldovan Petrocub (4-1), and in the second match, Pafos fought for points to the last with German Heidenheim (0-1), but ultimately lost.
The visitors are also looking great in the home championship so far. The club is in second place in the table and is only one point behind Aris with a game in hand. In the last rounds of the championship, the Yellow-Blues beat Enosis (2:1) and Karmiotissa (4:0).
Disqualifications and injuries
The visitors have no problems with the lineup.
Interesting trends for betting
- The team has lost only one match out of the last five in all tournaments
- The visitors are still unbeaten in the Cyprus Championship
Probable lineup : Ivusic - Jairo, Araujo Correia, Goldar, Dragomir, Zaja, Kina, Lucassen, Silva, Tankovic, Sunjic

1.55Tip and bets
The visitors have scored 19 goals in seven matches of the championship and are the most productive team of the league. Considering that the hosts are not the best in defense, and the level of the players does not allow them to withstand strong opponents, we can assume that there will be many goals in this match. We suggest betting on the total over.
Our prediction is total over 2.5 goals for 1.80
Bet on the outcome
"Pafos" failed to get points in the Conference League match and will obviously try to rehabilitate themselves in the championship match. The hosts are spending their first season in the league and clearly have not yet settled into the elite division, but the guests will not spare their opponents. Most likely, we will see a big victory for the favorite.
Our forecast is Asian handicap (-1.5) on "Paphos" with odds of 1.95
Bet on corners
"Pafos" should seize the initiative in the match from the very first minutes and will certainly attack until the final whistle. We believe that the territorial advantage will result in a strong advantage in the number of corners earned.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (-3.5) corners for Paphos with odds of 1.60
