Anorthosis - Achnas: betting tip for the match of the Cyprus championship
Anorthosis and Achnas will close the 18th round of the Cyprus Championship on January 13. The teams are neighbors in the standings, but according to bookmakers' odds, the guests have little chance of taking points in this meeting. Is everything really so? The answer is in our betting tip. Which event should you choose for a bet?
Command Analysis
Anorthosis
CyprusCurrent form
Anorthosis ended last year with a 0:2 defeat to Apollon. In 2025, the team also had a poor start, losing the first match to Pafos (0:2), but on January 7, they managed to win against Omonia with the same score, thus giving hope to the fans that the series of unsuccessful defeats had been interrupted. At present, with 24 points scored, the team is in seventh place in the standings and is only four points behind the top 6, with one game in reserve. If they manage to win the upcoming match, the handicap will be reduced to a minimum. The motivation is more than decent.
Disqualifications and injuries
Due to injuries, Woolery, Crusostom and Marqui Garcia will not take to the field.
Interesting trends for betting
- Anorthosis has lost only one of its last eight home games
- The hosts have scored in eight of their last ten home matches
Estimated line-up: Zivkovic – Conceicao, Teixeira, Chrysopoulos, Stamoulis – Rogulic, Teodoru, Artimatas, Krychowiak, Gyurcso – Lopes.
Ethnikos Achnas
CyprusCurrent form
Akhnas has not lost in four games in a row (two wins and two draws). This series allowed them to take eighth place in the standings and reduce the gap from the top 6 to six points. In the three previous matches they have managed to show good results - they have scored at least twice per match. If they manage to play the same way this time, it is far from certain that the club will fail, as bookmakers think.
The club plays more than well away from home. There were no defeats in regular time in the last six matches, but the whole point is that the matches were held with clubs from the bottom of the standings, and the upcoming opponent is completely different. If we manage to take points in this match, then we can confidently note progress in terms of play, because the guests very rarely lose points with opponents who are lower in the ranking.
Disqualifications and injuries
All players are in action.

1.70Tip and bets
Both rivals, of course, want to break into the top 6, which means that neither team will rush forward at breakneck speed. It is highly likely that the emphasis will be on defensive actions, especially since Akhnas, as a rule, does not dictate the rules of the game on the road, but adapts to the opponent. And in the match three months ago, the rivals scored only two goals between them. We are inclined to think that if they manage to score this time, it will be no more than twice.
Our prediction is total under 2.5 goals with odds of 2.07
Bet on the outcome
In the last two face-to-face games it was not possible to determine the winner. Considering this factor, as well as the fact that the opponents are close in the tournament table, we come to the conclusion that the game will be cautious and it will not be possible to determine the best one again.
Our prediction is a draw with odds of 3.70
Bet on corners
Based on all of the above, we come to the conclusion that, in addition to a small number of goals, the opponents will score few corner kicks, as they will avoid this standard in order not to aggravate the situation at their goal.
Our prediction is total under 8.5 corners with odds of 1.75
