AEK Larnaca
- AEK Larnaca are unbeaten in 5 (W2, D3) across all competitions.
- They are just 1 win and 1 draw in their last two home games.
- In Imanol Idiakez, AEK have a coach who is making a real difference to the club and the team’s fortunes since his appointment in July 2025.
- He has installed a system and a style of play that is tough to break down and has enabled the team to be consistently competitive in the top-heavy 1. Division.
- The AEK Larnaca vs Ethnikos Achnas FC prediction is especially relevant as AEK are fourth in the table with 24 points from 12 games, but they have been playing some of the top sides recently and will have gained confidence from a 4-1 away win at Olympiakos Nicosia, a 0-0 draw at HNK Rijeka in the Conference League and a 1-1 draw at Akritas Chlorakas last time out.
Ethnikos Achnas FC
- Ethnikos Achnas FC have won 1 of their last 5 matches and are winless on the road this season (D1, L4).
- Ethnikos's previous two games were a 3-2 away defeat to Omonia Aradippou and a 1-0 home loss to Olympiakos Nicosia.
- This will be a chess match between Idiakez’s possession-based, patient build-up style and Igor Angelovski’s pragmatic, counter-punching approach, which is a key factor to consider when evaluating AEK Larnaca vs Ethnikos Achnas FC betting tips.
- Angelovski took over Ethnikos Achnas FC in October 2025 and has tried to install a compact, defensive block and quick transitions to punish opponents when they are out of possession.
Key Players
- Nicolas Andereggen is the danger man for Ethnikos Achnas FC with eight goals in the 1. Division 2025/2026 after 12 appearances.
- He has scored four of his eight goals in their last five, so the visitor’s chances could depend on Andereggen’s form and the AEK Larnaca vs Ethnikos Achnas FC betting tips provided by experts.
- Hrvoje Milicevic has six goals for AEK Larnaca in 11 appearances, while Idiakez’s side have some creative midfielders who can help him out and make runs in behind.
Betting Insights
- AEK are a long odds at 1.32 for the win here with Ethnikos as far as 8.8 and the draw at 4.95.
- Over 2.5 Goals at 1.48 looks like a decent bet here as AEK should dominate possession and create chances while Ethnikos have a forward who can do damage on the counter - this makes for intriguing AEK Larnaca vs Ethnikos Achnas FC betting tips.
- Ethnikos currently sit ninth in the 1. Division 2025/2026 with 14 points from 12 games and are struggling to push up the table.
- Their away form is awful - four defeats in five away games and 16 goals conceded in those away games.
Prediction
- AEK Larnaca’s recent form suggests they should beat an out-of-form Ethnikos Achnas FC side at home on Saturday, but the visitors can make this interesting enough to warrant an underdog bet.
- I will take the visitors to keep this game interesting and give the home team a bit of a scare, but ultimately Idiakez’s men should have the quality to break the away team’s low block, especially as Ethnikos have been conceding plenty of goals on the road.
