Pafos vs AEL Limassol prediction 06.01.2025 | Cyprus League

• Competition: Cyprus League
• Date: Monday, 6th January, 2025
• Kickoff: 17:00 UK / 18:00 CET
• Venue: Stelios Kyriakides Stadium (Paphos)

Pafos are playing their best season ever. They gradually improved over the previous years, and this season, they look like a real title contender. After 16 rounds, they are at the top of the league's table with 40 points in 16 rounds. They are four points away from the second-placed Aris, but with a game played more. While they had a 100% win rate away from home, they weren't as great at home, and that is something they have to fix in order to win their first title in the club's history.

AEL Limassol have been between 8th and 9th place on the league's table in the last three years. This year, they seem to be around that placement once again. Right now, they are in 8th place with 19 points in 16 rounds. They are already five points away from the top six and the Championship Group. So, reaching the top six will be a challenge, especially if they lose the game against the league's leader.

Pafos vs AEL Limassol pick: Pafos to win and cover the -1.5 AH spread

Pafos won 13 out of 16 matches this season - 81%. The only three times when they failed to win were against Aris, AEK Larnaca, and Omonia - all teams from the Championship group. Against the teams from the Relegation Group, they have a 100% win rate!

AEL Limassol are in bad form, winning two points in the last three matches while facing much weaker teams than Pafos. Also, away from home, they lost four out of eight matches while losing by two or more goals on three occasions.

In the previous h2h games, Pafos absolutely dominated the games, winning six straight. They also covered the -1.5 AH spread on three occasions.

Considering the previous h2h games and all the above, we believe that Pafos should secure a comfortable home win.
