APOEL Nicosia - AEK Larnaca predictions and free betting tips [05/02/2024]

Today, there's not a lot of handball, so I propose we take a look at football. Let's head to Cyprus. We'll analyse the match where APOEL will host AEK.

APOEL

The home team currently sits at the top spot in the Cyprus championship league table after 22 rounds, having accumulated 51 points: 16 triumphs, 3 draws and 4 losses. They've managed to notch up 49 goals against their opponents, while conceding 13. The goal difference is a +36. In the last round, the team managed to secure a victory. In the last 5 games of the Cyprus championship — 4 wins and 1 loss.

AEK

The visitors, after 22 played matches in the Cyprus championship, have amassed 45 points and occupy the 3rd position in the tournament table. In these matches, they've put 37 balls into the opponents' net while conceding 20. The goal difference stands at +17. The team won in the last round. In the last five matches, they've claimed 5 wins, no draws, and 0 defeats.

Head-to-Head

In the last five direct confrontations, the hosts have proven stronger on 3 occasions, the guests claimed victory once, and one match resulted in a draw.

Match prediction

While the hosts are leading the Cyprus championship, their lead cannot be termed substantial — a mere 4 points from the second position and 6 from AEK. At home, APOEL is relatively solid in defence: only 4 goals conceded in 10 matches. In addition, the championship's leaders have yet to be beaten at their home floor this season: 10 victories and a draw. AEK is a strong team, but doesn't perform as confidently away as at home. In the last 13 head-to-head encounters, as the home team, APOEL has never lost to AEK. I'm betting here on the hosts with a zero handicap.
