Anorthosis Famagusta will want to continue from where they left off last time out with the 0-1 First Division triumph versus Krasava ENY Ypsonas.
The only scorer from Anorthosis Famagusta was Stefano Sensi (79').
It has been all too rare in recent games where Anorthosis Famagusta haven’t conceded. In fact, Anorthosis Famagusta have been scored against in 5 of their previous 6 matches, giving up 14 goals in the process. Even so, time will tell if that trend will be sustained in this game or not.
Analysis of their past results shows that Anorthosis Famagusta:
Pafos will go into the meeting following a 1-0 Champions League win to defeat Villarreal in their previous game.
In that game, Pafos had 41% possession and 5 attempts at goal with 2 of them on target. The only player to score for Pafos was Derrick Luckassen (46'). For their opponents, Villarreal got 18 shots at goal with 5 on target.
Demonstrating their bias toward fruitful matches, we’ve had goals 20 times in the prior 6 games in which Pafos have taken to the field, making it a mean average of 3.33 goals each meeting. Opposing teams have managed 9 from this total.
Heading into this contest, Pafos are undefeated by Anorthosis Famagusta when having played them away from home in the previous 3 league games.
Delving into their past head to head meetings going back to 05/11/2023 reveals that these encounters have not been good ones for Anorthosis Famagusta. They’ve not been able to get any wins at all while Pafos have just been too good for them, getting wins in 83% of those games where they have faced each other.
Loads of goals were seen in those games, too - 22 in all at an average of 3.67 goals per match.
The previous league contest featuring these clubs was First Division match day 16 on 02/01/2025 and the score finished Anorthosis Famagusta 0-2 Pafos.
Evagoras Charalampous (Injury to abdominal muscles), Babacar Dione (Muscle strain), Michalis Ioannou (Knee surgery), Simranjit Thandi (sprain), Fanos Katelaris (unknown injury) and Yoëll van Nieff (Adductor injury) will be missing for Anorthosis Famagusta gaffer Mauro Camoranesi.
Thanks to a largely available group of players, there is only a single fitness worry for the Pafos boss Juan Carlos Carcedo to contend with. Pedrão (Cruciate ligament surgery) misses out for this game.
When taking all factors into account, Anorthosis Famagusta have it in them to find the net against this Pafos outfit, although one goal probably won’t quite be as many as the goals that they could concede.
We’re therefore expecting both teams to score in a 1-2 advantage for Pafos when the referee blows the final whistle. Looking forward to seeing how this one unfolds.
