Match outlook: Aris Limassol aiming to sharpen home form
Aris Limassol returns to Alphamega Stadium with clear momentum to reassert control in the top half of the Cypriot 1. Division. Statistically the home side have been impressive across the campaign: 28 goals scored at home and only nine conceded, an indication of a side comfortable defending leads and extracting wins on familiar turf. Their recent sequence shows mixed results, but there is evidence of resilience — wins against Ethnikos Achna and AEK Larnaca earlier in January and a competitive outing against AEL on February 1 where Rody Junior Effaghe stood out as the best-rated performer. Those home clean sheets and an attack averaging double-digit shots per game signal Aris can dominate possession phases and create dangerous opportunities, particularly inside the box.
Anorthosis arrive wounded and inconsistent
Anorthosis make the trip sitting 11th in the table and carrying a worrying away record. Their tally of six goals scored at home and only six on the road across the season highlights a blunt attack; on the road they have conceded 19 goals, a vulnerability Aris should be able to test. Recent form for Anorthosis reads stop-start — occasional bright flashes like the January 25 win over AEL contrasted with heavy defeats to Akritas and Omonia — and their best performer in the last outing, Stefan Vukic, couldn’t prevent a 2-0 reverse. The team’s limited conversion and fewer shots on target suggest they will struggle to force the pace away from home, especially against a side that averages good defensive numbers and has recorded 11 clean sheets so far.
Tactical battle and historical context
The two met earlier in the season and produced a 1-1 draw, showing that when Anorthosis are compact they can frustrate. Still, Aris’ superior goal differential (39 scored to 19 conceded overall) and home scoring rate should dominate the narrative on Monday. Expect Alphamega to be the setting for a proactive Aris side looking to exploit Anorthosis’ defensive lapses and poor away scoring record.

Betting suggestion On the balance of form, home advantage and attacking/defensive numbers, the clearest single-market option is a 1X2 backing: Aris Limassol to win. The home side’s strong goals-for at Alphamega and Anorthosis’ fragile away record make “Home Win” the preferred play. Stake responsibly and consider limiting exposure — this pick leans on trends rather than guaranteed outcomes.
