Omonia Nicosia - Torpedo Kutaisi
When: 19:00
Where: UEFA Europa Conference League Qualification, 2nd Round
Omonia Nicosia
Omonia approaches the match after a difficult phase. In the last five friendly matches, there have been five losses, including significant defensive problems and difficulties in chance conversion. Nevertheless, the team shows more stable performances in the domestic Cypriot league and holds a good league position. With experienced players like Stevan Jovetić and Mariusz Stępiński, Omonia has offensive quality, while the defense with Nikolos Panagiotou and Sene Kulišali can provide a solid foundation despite recent poor results.
Torpedo Kutaisi
Torpedo Kutaisi shows overall more stable performances with two wins, one draw, and two losses in the last five games. Offensive players Komnen Andrić and Bjørn Jonssen are a constant threat, while defenders Solomon Kwirkwelia and Matej Šimić provide stability. Especially in away games, Torpedo presents itself disciplined and organized, which will be an important aspect in the match against Omonia.
Injuries
Omonia is missing key players like Filip Helander, Mikael Ingebrigtsen, and Anastasios Chadzigiovanis due to injury, which weakens the defense and wing positions. Torpedo Kutaisi, on the other hand, has no injured players and can rely on the full squad, which represents a certain advantage.
Head-to-Head
Last season, both teams also met in the UEFA Europa Conference League. Omonia won the first home game 3-1 and also secured a 2-1 victory in the away match. These results underline Omonia's favorite status, especially in their home stadium.
Match Prediction
Despite the recent negative streak, Omonia is expected to be the favorite at home. The home strength, combined with experience and quality in offense, suggests a certain dominance. Torpedo will act well-organized defensively and try to score through counter-attacks. Due to solid defensive performances by both teams and tactical play, a match is expected that will offer chances but not an excessive number of goals. Therefore, the bet on Under 3.5 goals with odds of 1.38 is highly recommended.
My tip: Under 3.5 goals (1.38)
