Olympiakos Nicosia FC

vs

Pafos FC

Preview

Olympiakos Nicosia FC

• Olympiakos Nicosia FC have failed to win any of their last five matches in all competitions (D3, L2).
• At home they have won one, drawn five and lost two of their 8 home games.
• Georgios Kostis took over in late November 2024 and has instilled a brand of soccer that prioritises an attacking approach, a high work rate, and collective discipline.

Pafos FC

• Pafos FC have won their last two games.
• Pafos FC (second, 37pts after 16 games) travel to Nicosia to face Olympiakos Nicosia FC (ninth, 17pts after 17 games).
• Albert Celades joined the Pafos FC team in January 2026 and his challenge will be to retain Pafos’ identity, while also bringing more control and defensive discipline.

Key Players

• Iasonas Pikis is Olympiakos’ most prominent creative outlet and has four goals in 15 league games.
• Anderson Silva is a powerful option for Pafos and has five goals in 14 games.

Betting Insights

• Pafos are a big favorite at 1.38 and the hosts are a huge 8.2 shot.
• Olympiakos have scored just seven goals at home all season.
• With Pafos having a more disciplined defensive structure than other teams in the division, the Under 2.5 goals market at 1.86 looks too good to ignore.

Prediction

• This is not a game that the hosts have any right to be favourites for, and we’ll be backing Pafos to secure the points.
• With the visitors arriving off the back of a two-game winning streak and the gap in recent form and league position, Pafos look the worthy favorite.
