On Saturday, Omonia will play APOEL at home in the opening match of the leaders group of the second part of the Cyprus Championship. We bring to your attention the forecast for this Nicosia derby.
"Omonia"
Omonia turned out to be the strongest in the group, as it managed to take 6th place. It is hard to believe that she will be able to get a ticket to the international arena again, as she is 9 points behind the European Cup zone. But this concerns the championship. In early March, she scored an away victory over APOEL (2-0), which allowed her to reach the semifinals of the Cyprus Cup. In the last round of the championship, Sofronis Augusti's team beat Karmiotissa away (2:1).
APOEL
APOEL, having suffered a fiasco in the national Cup, can now throw all its strength at winning the trophy in the championship. He managed to finish the first part of the season as the leader, but the gap from AEK following him is only 2 points. And "Aris" is in 6 points. In the last two rounds, the blue-white-yellows beat Omonia on the road (2:0), and defeated Nea Salamina (3:0) at home.

Forecast
APOEL is much more motivated, in comparison with Omonia, and will also be eager to get even with the opponent for the recent relegation from the Cyprus Cup. I think that the guests should win here even more than in one ball. Moreover, Omonia has been playing worse at home lately than away.
