The match between Anorthosis and AEL takes place at Antonis Papadopoulos Stadium, with AEL having a slight edge based on recent head-to-head results and current form.

If AEL scores first in the match at Antonis Papadopoulos Stadium, they could control the game, especially considering their recent form where they tend to score early. Anorthosis has shown resilience, often equalizing or winning late, but AEL's recent head-to-head dominance suggests they are more likely to take an early lead.

Late goals are common in this fixture, especially considering the history of both teams' scoring patterns in the second period.
Given the recent form and head-to-head trends, AEL tends to be more structured defensively and often scores early, while Anorthosis is resilient and capable of a late rally.
