Trio of super favourites in Cyprus...

The 8th round of the Cyprus Championship is completed with three matches where our European teams are playing, which had matches in the middle of the week. The derby between APOEL and Anorthosis is tied.
In the other two matches, Omonia travels to Larnaca to face Carmiotissa and Paphos also has an away assignment against Omonia 29M.

Below you can see all the match action in detail:

KARMIOTISSA - OMONIA (19:00)
Both teams are coming off defeats in the league but the one that hurt the most was that of Omonia who lost 0-1 at home to Union. The home side had a tough task against Paphos from the start and rightly lost 4-0. We should not forget that Carmiotissa won 2-0 at home to Apollon the other day and the Greens will have additional fatigue after the away game in Europe against Hearts. We should note that after two weeks coach Mauro Camoranesi left Carmiotissa due to disagreements with the management. On the other hand, Dambrauskas' team is coming off two defeats in the league (against Aris and Union) and cap another defeat in Europe against Hearts and a double is imperative in tonight's match.

OMONIA 29M-PAFOS FC (19:00)
In yet another game, Homonia 29M tried their best but failed to gain any points. This time they lost 2-0 away from home against Apollon. However, they are not a bad team, but even without the presence of their fans at the games, they will hardly escape relegation. The positive thing for them though is that they fight every game. On the other hand, Paphos crushed Carmiotissa 4-0 and continue to advance in the league and are rightfully at the top. The visitors, however, hosted Heidenheim on Thursday night and are expected to pull off a fatigue. It is true though that so far Carcedo has been super handling his material and that is why Paphos are playing well in Cyprus and Europe.

APOEL-ANORTHOSIS (20:00)
Manolo Jimenez's debut on the Apoel bench came with a win as the champions beat Omonia Ar. by five goals to return to winning ways in the league. A few 24 hours later, however, they were beaten 0-1 at home by Borac Bania Luka in the Conferences League. It's all about getting back into a good rhythm against Anorthosis, who were very much troubled by their performance in the derby against AEK. Yiannis Oka's men were beaten 1-0, but the score could have been much higher. In order to have a chance at the GSP, the "Lady" will have to raise their performance sharply, otherwise the task will be very difficult. Looking at the odds of the match, one can see the difference in potential between the two teams.
