Paphos vs Olympiakos Nicosia tips and predictions

Another complete display by Paphos?

There's 24 points between the two First Division clubs as first place Paphos get set to host 14th place Olympiakos Nicosia.

The overriding feeling here is that Paphos are masters of The Beautiful Game. They are on a different level to Olympiakos Nicosia and even though they are odds-on favourites, the short price is where you'll find the value. It doesn't matter if they produce their best form. This should be run of the mill for them.

It looks like there is a pattern emerging in their recent results. The hosts have had 10 wins in their last 12 matches. Without so much success the travelling side has tasted defeat in 5 of their recent 6 matches on the road. They've seemingly lost this one too.

The hosts have been building up a head of steam in previous performances. Paphos scored three or more goals in 8 of their recent 14 matches while they've not been caught sleeping. They've conceded only 4 goals in their last 12 games.

Olympiakos Nicosia looked shaky under pressure in their recent games. They've conceded two or more goals in all of their last 3 matches. These stats might be the difference between winning and losing. If so you are likely to see the home team pick holes in their back four.

It's possible that things fail to get going during a match that plays out on Paphos's terms. However, with the odds-against BTTS Yes price available that's probably the most interesting of those prices.
