APOEL vs. Aris: Cyprus Championship Match Prediction
APOEL and Aris will play in the 12th round of the Cyprus Championship. The hosts are the current champions, and the visitors did not even win bronze medals last season. However, the hosts are currently in fifth place, and the visitors are in second place. Will the club from Nicosia be able to get closer to their competitor on December 2? The answer is in our forecast for this match.

Command Analysis

APOEL Nicosia

Current form
APOEL became the champion of Cyprus and received the right to represent the country in European competitions. They failed to qualify for the Champions League or the Europa League, so now the club from Nicosia is trying to earn a ticket to the Conference League playoffs. The team is currently in 13th place and is only two points behind the top 8. Quite a good result, considering that in the domestic championship, APOEL is only in fifth place. In their last matches on the European stage, Manuel Jimenez team beat Fiorentina (2:1) and Molde (1:0). Not everything is going well in the Cypriot league. After a big win over AEL (4:0), the hosts lost to Paphos (1:2), and Radosav Petrovic received a red card.
Disqualifications and injuries
Radosav Petrovic is serving a disqualification and will not take part in the match.
Interesting trends for betting
- The team has suffered only one defeat in its last six matches.
- The hosts have won three of their last four matches.
Estimated lineup: Belec - Chebake, Quintilla, Laifis, Susic - Abanja, Satsias, Ndongala, Tejera, Pizzi - Marquinhos

Aris Limassol

Current form
Aris missed out on championship medals last season, falling to fourth place in the standings. The management is clearly unhappy with this result and expects a more successful season. So far, everything is going well - the team is in second place and is five points behind the leading Pafos. The club does not participate in European competitions, so the players do not get as tired as their competitors. After losing to AEK (0:2), the team managed to win big victories over Anorthosis (3:0) and AEL (3:0).

The teams are among the main contenders for the championship, and the hosts are the current trophy holder. We believe that the opponents will take each other seriously, so it is unlikely that we should expect a continuous flow of scoring opportunities. Most likely, the fate of the match will be decided by one or two goals scored.
Our prediction is total under 2.5 goals for 1.70
Bet on the first half
In four of APOEL last five matches, the first half ended in a goalless draw. We believe that such an outcome is possible in the upcoming match with Aris.
