Cyprus team overview
Cyprus have enjoyed a relatively successful Nations League campaign, collecting eight points from five matches and securing second place in Group C2. Akis Mantzios' side ended their most recent outing in a 1-1 draw against Armenia, with Pikis finding the net in the opening stages.
The hosts have shown considerable improvement following their opening 2-1 defeat against Montenegro. They subsequently collected eight points from their next four fixtures, including consecutive home victories over Armenia (2-0) and Latvia (2-1).
However, midfielder Ioannis Kosti is reportedly struggling with a leg injury and remains doubtful for Sunday's encounter. No other significant absences have been confirmed in the latest available injury reports.

Montenegro team overview
Montenegro have been the standout performers in Group C2, collecting 13 points and securing automatic promotion to League B. Their latest result was a 2-1 home victory over Latvia, with goals from Nikola Krstović and Aleksa Maraš.
The visitors have been particularly impressive offensively, scoring at least twice in four of their five group matches. They also secured important away victories against Armenia (3-2) and Latvia (2-1), demonstrating their ability to collect points outside Podgorica.
Regarding team news, no major injury or suspension concerns have been reported for Montenegro ahead of the trip to Limassol. The visitors are therefore expected to have most of their key players available.

Prediction
Montenegro have already secured promotion to League B, but they will want to finish their campaign without suffering a defeat. Meanwhile, Cyprus should not be underestimated, particularly after collecting four consecutive unbeaten results before their latest fixture. Playing at home could also help Mantzios' side make this a competitive encounter and it should eventually produce a BTTS outcome.
Prediction: Both Teams to Score (BTTS).
Three reasons we expect BTTS
- The previous Nations League encounter between these sides ended with both teams scoring, as Montenegro secured a 2-1 victory over Cyprus.
- BTTS has also landed in Cyprus' last two Nations League matches.
- Three of Montenegro's last four outings in the competition have also seen both teams to score.
