Anorthosis Famagusta
- Anorthosis Famagusta have hit a bit of a wobble with two consecutive draws at the end of February and start of March, but head coach Mauro Camoranesi is likely to have his side well-prepared for their clash with bottom-dwellers Enosis Neon Paralimni FC this Saturday.
- The former Italy international has overseen a marked improvement in the team’s performances, both in terms of results and overall structure since his arrival.
- Anorthosis are a 4-3-3 team that plays a coordinated pressing style and builds from the back with a focus on controlling the tempo and transitioning from defence to attack quickly.
- Camoranesi’s men have conceded 13 in 11 home games, which is respectable for a club of their size, but not prolific enough to be truly successful in the top division.
- Camoranesi has also got his team defending solidly at home, but his side has had a habit of drawing games in recent weeks.
-
Recent stats:
- Stefano Sensi is the team’s top scorer with five goals in 17 league appearances.
- The side have conceded 13 in 11 home games.

- The visitors have lost their last three away games and are yet to win in 11 games on the road, having lost ten of them.
- It hasn’t worked and they failed to score in their previous two games, a 3-0 away defeat to Omonia FC Nicosia and a 2-0 home loss to AEL Limassol.
-
Recent form:
- Lost five consecutive league games, failing to score in the last two.
- Only one point from 23 games.

Betting Insights
