Paphos vs Omonia: forecast for the Conference League match
Two Cypriot clubs, Paphos and Omonia, will compete for entry into the next round of the Conference League. The first match between these rivals ended 1-1, so everything will be decided in the second leg, which will take place on February 20. Who will be able to tip the scales on their side? The answer is in our forecast.
Command Analysis
Pafos FC
CyprusCurrent form
This season, Pafos has a chance to win its first league title in history. The team occupies the first place in the Premier League and has already brought the gap from the second Aris to six points. In the championship, the hosts have won five matches in a row and are not going to stop. In the 1/4 finals of the Cyprus Cup, they managed to beat the reigning champion, APOEL, in a penalty shootout. There are excellent chances of progressing further in the Conference League - in the away match, Juan Carcedo's team drew with their compatriots from Omonia, equalizing the score in the 84th minute. At the same time, Muamer Tankovic had missed a penalty earlier.
Disqualifications and injuries
Mehdi Bukamir, Kevin Monteiro, Athanasios-Theologos Papadoudis and Mateo Tanlongo are not announced for the tournament. Domingos Keane's injury has not fully healed, so his appearance on the field remains questionable.
Interesting betting trends
- The team has not lost eight matches in a row.
- In four of the last eight matches, the hosts were eliminated.
Approximate line-up: Ivusic - Silva, Goldar, Charlia, Bruno - Jaza, Pepe, Shunic, Tankovic - Dragomir, Jairo
Omonia Nicosia
CyprusCurrent form
Omonia managed to reach the third place in the Cyprus championship and is now ahead of AEK Larnaca in additional indicators. The team is four points behind the second Aris, while the championship-leading Paphos is already 10 points behind. The team from Nicosia managed to win four consecutive victories in the Cyprus championship, which allowed them to join the race for medals. In the Conference League, they still managed to jump into the playoff zone, taking 22nd place in the table. In the first round, the guests got just the "Pathos" and managed to avoid defeat in the first match. Moreover, victory was quite possible, but in the 84th minute, Omonia still missed the return goal and now they will have to go away without an advantage in the score.
Disqualifications and injuries
Dusan Bakic, Roman Bezus, Pantelis Mikhail and Mateusz Musyalowski are not announced for the tournament. The appearance of Giannis Masouras on the pitch is questionable.
Interesting betting trends
- None of the last nine matches of the guests ended in defeat.
- The team has scored three goals in each of the last four winning matches.
Approximate composition: Fabiano — Dioncu, Long, Panagiotiou, Hammas—Masouras, Erakovic, Maric, Aliyum — Stempinsky, Kakulis.

1.67Tip and bets
The hosts are considered the clear favorite of the match, but it seems to us that the guests have no less chance of winning. Omonia has gained excellent form and has not lost in the domestic arena for a long time. In the first match, the team from Nicosia fell just short of Victoria, missing five minutes before the end of regular time. We think that in the away match, the club will at least not concede in regular time.
Our forecast is that Omonia will not lose in 2.00
Bet on the total
With a tie, everyone has a chance to win, and the opponents will obviously keep this in mind when preparing for the match. We believe that the teams will play with caution, because any mistake can ruin their chances of reaching the next round. We think that the players will not take much risk, so you should not expect more than two goals in regular time.
Our forecast is a total of less than 2.5 goals in 1.85
Betting on corners
We think that the opponents will play defensively in the return match, so it is unlikely that there will be many corner kicks. We suggest putting a total of less on this indicator.
Our forecast is a total of less than 9.5 corners in 1.83
