Ethnikos Achna vs APOEL FC Prediction: Away to win and BTTS

In a match that will be played between two clubs in the first division of Cyprus, APOEL Nicosia and Ethnikos Achnas will compete against one another in a match that is so significant that it has the potential to assist either team establishing its standings within the first part of the league season. At the Stadio Achnas, Ethnikos will attempt to make the most of their home advantage and win with a considerable margin of victory.  Having a well-organized back line, which has always played it well defensively, and having the capacity to collect when one or more teammates are freed, makes them want another success rather than stopping there, as they have gotten off to a good start for this season. Therefore, it is highly likely that they would seek to maintain possession throughout the entirety of the game by applying pressure to the higher line in order to create scoring opportunities with aggressive central midfielders accompanying attackers into the box.

Due to poor performance, particularly on their defensive structure, Ethnikosi has not been fortunate enough to win any of their most recent matches, which has resulted in a string of defeats. For them to be able to withstand assaults from APOEL forwards, they need to maintain compactness throughout the entirety of the encounter, whether it be through discipline or focus. Ethnikos will probably take a more cautious approach since it will look for methods to frustrate APOEL by maintaining a strong defence against any potential attacks and waiting for opportunities to launch counterattacks that will be successful. 

Following their most recent victory, which was a 1-0 victory over Omonia Nicosia in the First Division, Ethnikos Achna are looking to increase their winning streak. Ethnikos Achna have scored eight goals in their last six matches, which is equivalent to an average of 1.33 goals scored per game overall. Ethnikos Achna has not suffered a loss to APOEL in the league in either of their most recent two matches, which brings them to this competitive matchup.

As a result of their most recent match, APOEL and Astana played to a 1-1 draw in the Conference League. During the course of their most recent six encounters, Manolo Jiménez's APOEL has been successful in putting the ball in the back of the net nine times, which has resulted in them achieving an average of 1.5 goals scored per game. The APOEL team has not been victorious on the road in any of their last three league matches, which brings them into this matchup.

After reviewing the head-to-head and statistical dataset of both teams, it can be identified that Ethnikos Achna has won two of them while APOEL has won three of them, and there has been one game that ended in a draw. In the course of those matches, the two teams scored a combined total of 21 goals, with Achna scoring eight of them and APOEL scoring thirteen of them. The average amount of goals scored in each game brings the total to 3.5.

Reviewing the form of Ethnikos, I think that the offence of Ethnikos Achna will score at least a goal but that may not be enough to get the win as APOEL will also most likely score. My prediction is a 1-2 or 1-3 win for APOEL
