Olympiakos Nicosia host AEP Paphos in Round 18 of the Cyprus First Division on January 17, 2026 at GSP Stadium. Olympiakos sit 9th in the table, struggling with form after three consecutive draws and a heavy 34 loss to Omonia Aradippou. Their attack has lacked consistency, though Vlad Dragomir and Anderson Silva remain key figures. Paphos, meanwhile, are 2nd with 24 points, pushing for the title and showing strong attacking momentum, highlighted by recent wins over Omonia Aradippou and Akritas Chlorakas. Head-to-head history is balanced, with Olympiakos winning 11 of 33 meetings and Paphos 8, but current form heavily favors the visitors. Betting markets give Paphos a 72% chance of victory, with Over 2.5 goals and BTTS possible but less likely given Olympiakos defensive approach. Predicted outcome: Paphos 02 Olympiakos, with superior squad depth and form making Paphos clear favorites in this fixture.
