Anorthosis Famagusta

Key Players
- Ioannis Chatzivasili has been their main attacking threat with 5 goals in 17 appearances.
- Stefano Sensi has been Anorthosis’s main man in front of goal with 5 in 13 appearances in the league and he’ll need to be on his A-game on Sunday if the visitors are to get the 3 points.
Betting Insights
- Akritas are heavy 4.39 long shots for this game against Anorthosis who are 1.79 odds on to win.
- Under 2.5 goals is at 1.7 and that seems like a fair price given that Anorthosis have only scored 6 goals in their 9 away games so far this term, an average of just 0.67 per game.
- Akritas are conceding an average of 1.78 goals per game at home, letting in 16 goals in 9 home games in this league campaign.
Prediction
- Marios Nikolaou has been Akritas’ head coach since November 2025 and he prefers to set his side up in a 4-3-3 formation, although he’s occasionally deployed a 4-5-1 to provide more protection for his defenders.
- Akritas are typically a team that sit deep, allow their opposition to dominate possession before looking to pounce on the counterattack, whilst their pace on the wings is their main threat.
- As Anorthosis are the favourites, we’re going to take them to win this game, but given their poor away form and the psychological effect of this fixture we feel that Akritas can get a draw.
- This is likely to be a chess match between Anorthosis’s ball control and pressing, and Akritas’s deep defensive block and counter attacks.
