Competition: First Division
Market: AEK Larnaca win
Odds: 1/1 @ 1xBet
Looking to move within touching distance of top spot in the First Division table, AEK Larnaca will host Omonia on Friday evening.
Starting with the hosts, suffering more title heartbreak last season as they were forced to settle for another silver medal finish, AEK Larnaca are desperate to get their hands on a maiden First Division crown in 2025. Last seen putting in another gritty performance as they secured a 1-0 victory away at Pafos, Henning Berg’s men are in the midst of what has become a sensational flurry. With the mood in their camp at a red-hot high, the ex-Omonia boss will be looking to get one over on his former employers here. Despite mustering just a single victory from any of their first First Division appearances, AEK have come roaring back in a remarkable fashion. In fact, Friday’s hosts have won each of their last six straight showdowns across all competitions. With their eye-catching flurry stemming back to before November’s international break, Berg’s camp have also gained a fearsome reputation for their success on home soil. It should be highlighted, Larnaca have won all of their previous seven appearances in front of their own supporters by an aggregate score of 23-0.
As for the visitors, claiming a welcomed boost last time out as they signed off 2024 with a routine 3-0 victory against Nea Salamis, Omonia will be desperate to use that performance as a platform to build on in the New Year. While the Shamrocks might still find themselves sat in the driving seat to punch another European finish this season, they have struggled to find much stability. Winning just a trio of their previous seven appearances across all competitions, Friday’s guests have also collected back-to-back First Division victories on just a single occasion since the start of September. Enduring a real Europa Conference League wobble and losing their previous four European showdowns by an aggregate score of 7-0, Omonia should also be concerned by a nightmare record away at their domestic rivals. Including a 1-0 defeat when they last travelled to AEK back on April 21st, the Shamrocks have lost each of their last five consecutive trips to Larnaca and should have another stern examination on their hands this weekend.
Bet: AEK Larnaca 1/1 to beat Omonia in Friday’s First Division battle @ 1xBet
