APOEL vs Pafos Live Stream, Predictions (May 12)

📊 Form Guide

APOEL

LWDWDL ⚖

APOEL will be hoping to bounce back here following a 3-0 First Division loss in their previous game against AEK Larnaca.

Giorgos Naoum (6') and Bruno Gama (39', 57') scored for AEK Larnaca.

APOEL haven’t exactly had impressive attacking statistics in more recent games. Their sum of goals equals just 4 vs opponents over their last 6 outings. In those meetings, APOEL have also seen the number of goals that have gone against them come to 6. Nevertheless, we must now wait to see if such a trend might persist in this next game.

Ahead of this meeting, APOEL are unbeaten in their previous 2 league matches at home.

Pafos

WLDWLW

Pafos will go into this game following on from a 4-0 First Division win with the downing of Aris Limassol in their last fixture.

For Pafos, goals were scored by João Correia (9'), Vlad Dragomir (37'), Jairo (51') and Mislav Oršić (82').

A tendency of at least one side getting a clean sheet in games involving Pafos has become fairly consistent in recent matches. Examining their last 6 outings shows that it has happened 5 times. During these clashes, opposing sides have hit a goal aggregate of 6 and Pafos have scored 9.

Coming into this contest, Pafos haven’t won away from home in the past 2 matches in the league.

👥 Head to head

Checking on their prior head to head clashes stretching back to 17/12/2023 shows that APOEL have won 4 of these & Pafos 2, with the tally of drawn matches standing at 0.

An aggregate of 10 goals were produced between them during those clashes, with 6 from Thrylos and 4 for Pafos. The average number of goals per game works out to 1.67.

The previous league game featuring these sides was First Division match day 4 on 06/04/2025 when the final score was Pafos 0-1 APOEL.

🗞️ Team News: APOEL

Kingsley Sarfo (Groin injury), Christos Karanatsios (Cruciate ligament surgery), David Abagna (Cruciate ligament surgery), Anastasios Donis (Cruciate ligament injury), Xavi Quintillà (Muscle injury), Pieros Sotiriou (Muscle injury) and Mateo Susic (Muscle injury) will be missing for APOEL manager Manolo Jiménez.

🧠 Prediction

In our view, APOEL could find themselves struggling to score against this Pafos team who we think will score at least once to put them ahead.

Our tip is therefore for a very even match with a 0-1 advantage for Pafos after 90 minutes.

Looking forward to watching this one unfold.
