Bitesize Prediction: Achnas vs AEL Limassol – 07/05/24

Competition: Cypriot First Division

Market: Both teams to score

Odds: 8/15 @ BetUS

In what could prove to be another action-packed showdown from the Daski Stadium on Tuesday evening, Achnas will welcome AEL Limassol to town.

Starting with the hosts, although Achnas might have gained a reputation for their rugged approach since making a top-flight return this season, Marinos Satsias’ men are seeking some recent stability. Suffering a second-half collapse away at Nea Sakamis last week as they eventually fell to a 2-1 defeat, the Achniotes have collected just a single point from any of their previous three Cyta Championship appearances. Likewise, opening April with another 2-1 loss at the hands of Doxa, the former APOEL coach will have a headache over his side’s extended defensive struggles. In fact, Achnas have registered just a sole top-flight clean sheet from any of their last 10 straight outings – a run that stems all the way back to March 3rd. However, making a statement last month as they secured a stunning 6-2 romp against Zakakiou, Tuesday’s hosts will be looking to spring another upset here. However, it should be noted, Satsias’ side have seen 11 of their last 12 appearances at the Daski Stadium finish with both teams getting on the scoresheet.

As for the visitors, while AEL might have drastically fallen short of booking a top-half return this season, Alexis Garpozis’ men are enjoying an extended flurry. Although the Yellows might have been last seen settling for an action-packed 2-2 stalemate away at Doxa, the Limassol-based outfit have suffered just a single defeat from any of their previous 12 top-flight appearances – a purple patch that stems all the way back to February 21st. However, cinching what was a remarkable 5-4 victory against Nea Salamis last month, Tuesday’s guests have enjoyed a major clinical run in the final third. Including a stellar 5-1 romp against Zakakiou on April 8th, AEL have registered 16 goals in just their previous five consecutive outings. Gaining a reputation for their frantic fixtures at both ends of the pitch, neutrals could be treated to a thriller here. Likewise, with three of the previous four meetings between Tuesday’s opponents finishing with both teams getting on the scoresheet, we are expecting a similar outcome in midweek.
