Prediction: 3-2
Vikingur Reykjavik
Omonia play host to Vikingur at their Neo GSP Stadium in the opening match of their Europa Conference League campaign. Valdas Dambrauskas’ men aim to build on a 3-1 win over AEL Limassol, but they will have to showcase their worth. Cape Verde international Willy Semedo limped off with injury in the last league match, with Loizos Loizou likely to step up.
The Vikes, on the other hand, are on a five-game winning run in the national championship. As the Icelanders have been scoring goals for fun of late, there is every chance we will see goals galore in Nicosia. However, the hosts are closer to picking up all three points from the match than the visitors, who often struggle in European competitions, especially on the road. A man to watch in the away team will be Helgi Gudjonsson, who has netted 11 goals in Besta Deild Karla so far this term.
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.
