Prediction: 1-1
Paphos
Omonia play host to Pafos at their Neo GSP Stadium in an all-Cypriot Conference League encounter. Omonia are on a four-game winning run in all competitions, but this match will be anything but a walk in the park for the home side. Bosnia and Herzegovina international Mateo Maric is back from suspension, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
Juan Carlos Carcedo’s troops, on the other hand, are eyeing their seventh consecutive win in all competitions. Pafos and Omonia seem to be evenly matched at the moment and, taking everything into account, we predict that they are going to share the spoils in the first leg. January signing Zvonimi Sarlija (defender) is pushing for his full Pafos debut as well as experienced midfielder Ken Sema. There are no fresh injury concerns in the away team ahead of the Cypriot derby.
Highlighted Team (Omonia):
Founded on June 4, 1948, Omonia are considered one of the most famous clubs in the history of Cyprus football. The Queen welcome their opponents at GSP Stadium in Nicosia. The venue was opened in 1999 and it can hold up to 22,859 spectators.
However, the stadium’s record attendance is 23,043. Omonoia are the second most successful club in Omonia, with the team winning 20 domestic championships, eight less than APOEL. On the other hand, the club clinched their 14th Cypriot Cup title in the 2011/12 season. The Cypriot outfit made their debut in the Champions League (European Cup) in the 1966/67 season, with the team suffering a heavy 10-1 loss (on agg.) to Bundesliga side 1860 Munich.
Omonia are well known for their light green home shirts, with the team wearing red when playing on the travels. The 1970s are considered the club’s golden era. Led by talented footballer Sotiris Kaiafas, Omonia won seven league titles in that decade.
