Anorthosis Famagusta vs Omonia Nicosia Prediction: Omonia to win and BTTS

As we prepare for the highly anticipated match between Anorthosis and Omonia Nicosia on September 21 at 19:00 (GMT+3) at Stadio Antonis Papadopoulos, taking place in Game Week 4 of the 2024/2025 season. This rivalry goes beyond simple bragging rights.

Given that both sides have a strong track record of hitting the goal, there is a greater chance of over 2.5 goals. However, both attacks have not been potent enough. Statistically, the likelihood of witnessing over 2.5 is high but looking at the form of both teams, we anticipate under 2.5 goals. Over 3.5 or Over 4.5 goals, however, decreases dramatically and is consistent with the 3.14 and 5.90 recorded probabilities, respectively.

There is a tendency for both sides to allow goals to go through, which makes Both sides to Score (BTTS) a compelling choice. A split situation is presented by historical data, with average BTTS percentages of almost 50% and first- and second-half breakdowns of 23% and 26%, respectively. It implies that, more often than not, the more important action intensifies after halftime.

Anorthosis has an average overall record in the First Division this season with 15 wins, 7 draws, and 10 defeats. With 47% of matches won, Anorthosis is presently ranked seventh out of 14 clubs in the First Division Table. Anorthosis has an ok record at home, with six victories, six ties, and four defeats. Because they have nine wins, one tie, and six losses on the road, their record is regarded as excellent.

Omonia Nicosia comes into this fixture full of confidence, determined to maintain their fine run and establish themselves among the contenders for the championship. Known for playing at a high tempo and being dynamic, Omonia will try to dominate possession while putting constant pressure on Nea Salamina’s defense. Their assault features players such as Andronikos Kakoullis and Fabiano who are characterized by pace, technique, finishing that can get through even the tightest defenses. Omonia’s likely game plan will involve moving the ball fast, creating width as well as taking advantage of gaps in Nea Salamina’s defensive line. An away win would not only solidify their grip on the title race but also highlight their consistency against all opponents in the league.

Anorthosis Famagusta will need to put in a lot of teamwork to overcome Omonia Nicosia, who we believe has a good chance of scoring at least one goal.

We consequently expect Omonia Nicosia to win by a hard-fought 1-2 or 1-3 score.
