Omonia Nicosia and AEL are both riding high in the 1. Division with their 1st and 2nd positions respectively. Expect a great game!

Insights:
  • Omonia Nicosia have the fewest conceded goals (13) in 1. Division
  • AEL have the most matches over the total-line (20) in 1. Division

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

Nicosia are already the 1. Division winners and can relax with the season objective secured. If they do relax it might give the away team a slightly better chance in this one. AEL have already sealed their fate; they will finish in 2nd place no matter what happens.
