Anorthosis — APOEL: forecast for the Cyprus Championship match
Anorthosis and APOEL will play in the 21st round of the Cyprus Championship. Both teams are performing below their capabilities this season. The hosts occupy the seventh place in the table, not even getting into the top half of the rating, and the guests complete the top five, although they became champions last season. Which of the competitors will be able to score tournament points on February 3rd? The answer is in our forecast.
Command Analysis
Anorthosis
CyprusCurrent form
"Anorthosis" has not even been in the European Cup zone for a long time and finally dropped into the category of the average players of the Cyprus championship. This season, the club can only count on fighting for sixth place. So far, the hosts are only in seventh position, three points behind Apollo, which Anorthosis recently lost to in the quarterfinals of the Cyprus Cup. In January, the hosts managed to achieve good results. After the defeat against Paphos (0:2), which took place on January 2, Mauro Camoranesi's team pulled themselves together and stopped losing. Anorthosis managed to win three in a row, beating Omonia (2:0), Akhnas (2:1) and NEA Salamina (4:0). It was only in the last round that this series was interrupted - the hosts only escaped defeat in the confrontation with AEK from Larnaca (2:2) in the 14th compensated minute.
Disqualifications and injuries
The hosts have no problems with the squad before the match with the reigning champion.
Interesting betting trends
- The team has lost only one of the last five matches.
- The hosts have won three of their last five matches.
Approximate composition: Zivkovic – Conceicau, Teixeira, Crisopoulos, Stamoulis – Rogulic, Theodorou, Artimatas, Krychoviak, Durcio – Lopez.
APOEL Nicosia
CyprusCurrent form
APOEL became the champion of Cyprus and received the right to represent the country in European competitions. It did not work out to get into the Champions League or the Europa League, but the club performed quite successfully in the Conference League, taking 11th place in the group and only failing to reach the top 8 in terms of additional indicators. In the first round of the playoffs, the champion will play against Slovenian Celje and has a good chance of advancing further. Not everything is working out in the Cypriot league yet. The club is only in fifth position and seven points behind the fourth Omonia. With such a margin, it will be difficult to compete for the top three winners. Recently, the guests also dropped out of the national cup, losing in a penalty shootout to Paphos.
Disqualifications and injuries
The guests have no problems with the squad on the eve of the match with Anorthosis.
Interesting betting trends
- The team has suffered only one defeat in the last eight rounds.
- The visitors have scored in the last 17 matches.
Approximate composition: Belets - Chebake, Quintilla, Laifis, Susic - Abanya, Satsias, Ndongala, Tejera, Pizzi - Marquinhos
Trends

The last face-to-face match ended with the following score

This bet has been played in the last four matches between the teams.
1.91The bid is the number 2 in the final bill
The pattern has worked in five of the last seven matches of the hosts
2.32Tip and bets
Despite the small gap in the table, the clubs are solving fundamentally different tasks. The guests also plan to compete for the European Cup zone, and for the hosts it will be a blessing to get at least into the top 6. APOEL is much superior to the opponent in terms of composition and level of play. The team from Nicosia has won most of the recent matches and will certainly not give Anorthosis a chance.
Our forecast is for APOEL to win in 1.72
Bet on the total
The teams will certainly prepare well for the match and will not allow defensive failures. Both opponents have played the last matches of the championship quite well in terms of defensive play, so something like this should be expected in a head-to-head match. Most likely, we won't see more than two heads here.
Our forecast is a total of less than 2.5 goals in 1.95
Betting on corners
In four of APOEL's 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.
Our forecast is a draw in the first half at 2.00
