Command Analysis

Aris Limassol

Current form
Aris finished last season only in fourth place and did not even qualify for European competition. It is unlikely that such a result coincides with the club ambitions, so the goals for the current season are the highest. The team is fighting for the championship title and is currently in second place, behind only Pafos. The hosts ended 2024 with a series of six matches without defeat, with five matches ending in victory for the "greens". In the 15th round, Aris defeated the main outsider of the championship, Omonia 29 May (3:0), on the road. Alexander Kokorin scored a double.
Disqualifications and injuries
The hosts have no losses in their squad ahead of the 16th round.

Omonia Aradippou

Current form
Omonia Aradippou performed well in the Second Division last season and took first place, reaching the Premier League. The team will try to stay here for a long time. Currently, the visitors are in 11th place out of 14, with 13 points after 15 matches. In the last matches of 2024, the visitors were unable to achieve success, scoring only one point in four matches. Omonia lost to AEK (0:1), twice to Anorthosis (2:4, 0:3), and also missed out on victory in the match with AEL (2:2). After the first half, Hugo Martins' charges were leading with a score of 2:0, but eventually lost the advantage - AEL equalized the score in the 10th minute of stoppage time, and then almost snatched victory, but the third goal was canceled after reviewing the VAR.
Disqualifications and injuries
The visitors have no problems with their lineup ahead of the 16th round match.
Interesting trends for betting

1.68Tip and bets
We don't think the hosts will have any problems in this match. Aris has gained excellent form and is beating one opponent after another, while the visitors have lost almost all of their recent matches. The favorite superiority will certainly affect the outcome of this match. We suggest betting on a confident success for the home team.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (-2) on Aris for 1.75
Bet on total
The visitors have scored only 11 goals this season and are one of the least productive teams in the championship. We doubt that the underdog will be able to hit the opponent goal, but the hosts will probably score a couple of goals and then play according to the score.
Our prediction is total under 3.5 goals for 1.80
Bet on the first half
We believe that Aris will start putting pressure on the opponent from the very first minutes in an attempt to take the lead as early as possible. It is unlikely that the visitors' defense will cope with the powerful starting onslaught, so we expect a victory from the favorite in the first half of the match.
Our prediction is Aris to win in the first half at 1.47
