Enosis Neon Paralimni vs Anorthosis Famagusta Prediction: Anorthosis is the favourite

Enosis Neon Paralimniou will host Anorthosis Famagusta in an exciting Cyprus First Division encounter. The home side has struggled this season, managing just 14 goals in 23 games, averaging 0.6 goals per match. Defensively, they have conceded 1.8 goals per game, showing vulnerability at the back. Despite winning two of their last six matches, they remain inconsistent.

Anorthosis, on the other hand, has performed significantly better, scoring 31 goals in 23 matches, an average of 1.35 goals per game. They have shown defensive weaknesses, conceding 2.0 goals per game away from home, which could give Enosis a chance. However, with key injuries affecting their squad, including Kaiyne Woolery and Ante Roguljić, they might not be at full strength.

Historically, Anorthosis has dominated this fixture, winning four of the last six encounters, including a 3-2 victory in their most recent meeting. With their superior attacking record, they are favorites heading into this clash.

Enosis Neon Paralimniou

Enosis has struggled in the league, currently averaging 0.6 goals per game while conceding 1.8 per match. Their recent form includes two wins, two draws, and two losses in their last six league games. Their home performances have been slightly better, but they still average only 1.0 goals per game at home.

One of their biggest concerns is the lack of attacking firepower. With only 14 goals in 23 league matches, they have one of the weakest offenses in the league. Their defensive struggles are equally concerning, as they have conceded 42 goals, averaging nearly 2 goals against per game.

Injuries have also affected them, with Panagiotis Panagiotou sidelined due to a broken arm. Their possession stats (42.7% on average) indicate a team that struggles to control games, relying more on counterattacks. Against a superior Anorthosis side, they will need a strong defensive setup to avoid another defeat.

Anorthosis Famagusta

Anorthosis has been one of the stronger sides in the league, with 31 goals scored in 23 games, averaging 1.35 goals per match. They are more effective in attack than Enosis, but their away form has been inconsistent, with just one win in their last four away games.

Defensively, they concede 2.0 goals per game away from home, which could be a weakness against an Enosis side that is desperate for points. Their passing accuracy of 51.3% and possession rate of 53.6% suggest they can control games better than Enosis.

The major concern for Anorthosis is injuries. Kaiyne Woolery (cruciate ligament), Ante Roguljić (muscle injury), and Andreas Chrysostomou (knee injury) are all unavailable. Despite this, they have enough firepower to trouble the Enosis defense, particularly through set pieces and counterattacks. Given their superior attacking statistics, they will likely dominate possession and create more goal-scoring opportunities.

Expert Betting Tips

This game is expected to be dominated by Anorthosis, given their superior goal-scoring ability and overall squad strength. However, their defensive struggles away from home leave some room for Enosis to exploit. Enosis has a poor attacking record, but they have shown they can occasionally surprise stronger teams, especially at home.

Anorthosis’ recent 3-2 loss to Apollon showed their defensive weaknesses, but against an Enosis side that lacks firepower, they should still be able to secure the win.
