Nea Salamis Famagusta vs APOEL FC Prediction: APOEL to win the game

The Cyprus 1st Division is brimming with excitement as Nea Salamis Famagusta welcomes the league leaders (APOEL FC)  for a crunch fixture in Game Week 21. Scheduled for 22:00 (GMT+3) on Friday, 26th January 2024, at the Stadio Vitex Ammochostos Epistrofi in Larnaca.

This match could be a defining moment for both teams. For APOEL, a win will strengthen their grip at the summit of the league table while Nea Salamis would want to claim further up the league tale. 

Both teams will be full of confidence as they won the last games played. This game promises to be entertaining with lots of goals.

Nea Salamis's form has been good in the league and occupies the 8th position. They have faced defeats against teams like Larnaca (0-1) and Anorthosis (0-3) but gained victories against Apollon, Achna, and Othellos.

Nea Salamis Famagusta has struggled, particularly in defence, and has been inconsistent in finding form. On home turf, Nea Salamis Famagusta has lost four games and won just one of the last five games played.

APOEL FC has been in good form in the league and currently occupies the 1st position on the league table. They have secured wins against teams like Doxa (5-0), AE Zakakiou (3-1), Pafos (1-0), Omonia Nicosia (3-0) and Anorthosis (1-0) as well as a loss against Achna and a draw against Apollon.

APOEL Nicosia has shown strong attacking capabilities and a solid defence, making them a top contender for the league. Games played away from home has been difficult for APOEL as evident in 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss in the last five away games. 

Nea Salamis will likely focus on their defensive setup and look to capitalize on APOEL's defensive lapses. On the other hand, APOEL will aim to exploit any weaknesses in Nea Salamis's defence.

Given APOEL's stable form, a 2-1 or 3-1 win for the away side seems plausible.

As both teams prepare for this high-stakes encounter, the anticipation is building, and the stage is set for a memorable showdown.
