Pafos vs AEK Larnaca

It is a chance to win the first piece of silverware of the season in Cyprus as Pafos battle AEK Larnaca in the Super Cup on Thursday.

Pafos News

Pafos are in the Super Cup after winning the Cypriot First Division last season for the first time. They have made a solid start to this campaign, with six wins from their eight league matches so far.

The champions head into this clash unbeaten in seven of their last nine matches across all competitions, picking up five wins on this run. However, they were beaten 2-1 at Omonia in a Cyprus First Division clash last weekend.

Pafos have scored in seven of their last eight matches across all competitions while winning at least one half in three of the last four on this run. Six of their last seven matches have produced over 2.5 goals, while Juan Carcedo's team are without a clean sheet in four of the last six fixtures.

AEK Larnaca News

AEK Larnaca won the Cypriot Cup last season to earn a place in Thursday's clash. They are also showing some good form this term, winning four of their eight matches so far in the First Division.

Imanol Idiakez's team are coming off a 1-1 home draw with APOEL in a First Division clash last weekend. That result means they are now unbeaten in six of their last seven matches across all competitions.

Goals have not been a problem for AEK Larnaca, who have scored in their last 10 matches across all competitions. Four of their last seven matches have also produced over 2.5 goals.

Head to Head

AEK Larnaca have four wins while Pafos have earned three victories, with three draws in the last 10 matches. The league champions claimed a 4-2 away victory when both teams met in the First Division earlier this month.
