Pafos became a rather unexpected leader of the championship, considering that the club finished last season only in fifth place. Now the team is acting almost without mistakes and suffered its first defeat only in the last match of 2024.

Now the clubs will meet again, but this time in the cup.

Aris Limassol

Aris finished last season only in fourth place and did not even qualify for the European Cups.

The visitors' unbeaten streak has already reached nine matches and the team is not going to stop.

1.82Tip and bets
The rivals are fighting for the Premier League championship, so this confrontation can be called fundamental. The rivals will obviously try to play carefully in defense, so as not to give the competitor an advantage. In none of the last six face-to-face matches were more than two goals scored, we do not think that this trend will be interrupted.
Our prediction is total under 2.5 goals at 1.85
Bet on the outcome
Aris managed to beat the opponent on their home field. It will be much harder to win away, but the players of the club from Limassol have a good chance to avoid losing in regular time. Pafos is not superior to the opponent at the moment, so we strongly doubt the victory of the home team.
Our prediction is Aris will not lose at 1.95
Bet on corners
Most likely, the opponents will play defensively, which means that many corner flag passes are not expected. We suggest betting on the total under this indicator.
Our prediction is under 9.5 corners for 1.90
