Pafos vs Omonia Nicosia Prediction and Betting Tips | February 20th 2025

Pafos and Omonia Nicosia return to action in the UEFA Europa Conference League when they lock horns in the second leg of their knockout-stage playoff clash at the Alphamega Stadium on Thursday. With last week’s reverse leg ending all square, a place in the round of 16 remains very much up for grabs and we anticipate a thrilling all-Cyprus affair.

Pafos continued their push for the Cyprus 1. Division title as they secured a 1-0 victory over Apollon Limassol on home turf last Sunday. This followed a 1-1 draw against Omonia Nicosia in the first leg of their Conference League knockout-stage clash on February 13, a result which saw their six-game winning streak come to an end.

Pafos return to action in the Conference League, where they will be looking to reach the last 16, having finished 12th in the group standings and with 10 points from their six matches.

Omonia Nicosia, meanwhile, picked up seven points from their six group-stage games to finish 22nd in the table, only above 25th-placed Hearts outside the playoff qualifying places on goal difference.

Yannis Anastasiou’s men head into Thursday’s tie fresh off the back of a 3-1 victory over Omonia Aradippou in the 1. Division, where they sit third in the standings, 10 points off Pafos.

Nicosia are unbeaten in their last nine matches across all competitions, picking up seven wins and two draws since a 2-0 defeat against Anorthosis Famagusta on January 7.
