Anorthosis Famagusta
- Anorthosis Famagusta are in 12th place with 13 points from their opening 14 games in 1. Division 2025/2026 and have been much improved since appointing Temuri Ketsbaia as head coach on the 7th September 2025.
- Ketsbaia has brought a degree of stability to the club after the tumult of the previous months and brought some tactical changes to the team, restructuring the side around a back three and deploying his wing-backs in an overloading system.
- Anorthosis are a pragmatic side who don’t like to play it out in their own half and instead try to overplay in wide areas, with their primary attacking threat being Stefano Sensi’s runs from deep.
- They are not the best side in the league, but are definitely the best in the division at delivering set-piece danger.
- Anorthosis have the quality to win on Saturday, but their form has been patchy with a win, three draws and a defeat from their last five games.
Olympiakos Nicosia FC
- Olympiakos Nicosia FC are 9th in 1. Division 2025/2026 with 15 points from 14 games, two points above 12th placed Anorthosis.
- Olympiakos Nicosia FC have been similarly inconsistent, winning once, drawing twice and losing twice in their past five league matches.
- Olympiakos's recent games include a 1-0 away win over Ethnikos Achnas and a 3-0 home defeat to Omonia Nicosia.
- Olympiakos are a tough team to beat and have been hard to break down since Georgios Kostis was appointed as head coach on the 26th November 2024.
- Kostis has drilled his players into a compact, disciplined shape that is a good press on their own, forcing turnovers and hitting quickly on the break with the pace they have in numbers.
- Olympiakos have been tough to beat away from home of late, winning one and drawing one of their past three and have failed to win in their last two trips to Anorthosis.
Head-to-Head
The last four head-to-head meetings have seen Anorthosis win two, Olympiakos win once and one draw.
Key Players
- Stefano Sensi’s runs from deep are the primary attacking threat for Anorthosis.
- Iasonas Pikis leads the line well for Olympiakos and has four goals in 12 league games.
Betting Insights
- Anorthosis are marginal favourites at 1.69.
- Olympiakos are good value at 4.86 and the draw is 3.64.
- With both teams in poor form, the Under 2.5 goals market at 1.82 looks the savvy bet.
Prediction
This will be a test of Olympiakos’ disciplined mid-block against Anorthosis’ revamped wing-back system, and with both sides looking to find some momentum, it could be a cagey encounter.
