Larnaca vs Pafos Prediction 13 September 2026
🔊 AEK Larnaca are the only club in the SITA League to have won both of their opening matches. Pafos sit fourth - they are also unbeaten so far this season, but thoughts of rotation and managing the squad's energy ahead of their Conference League fixtures have almost certainly already crept in.

Both Teams to Score Prediction
Both teams have scored in five consecutive head-to-head meetings. AEK Larnaca have scored at home in 9 of their last 10 head-to-head matches, while Pafos have averaged 1.17 goals per game away from home in their last 10 matches. However, Pafos's current seasonal record of zero goals conceded sits somewhat against this trend, which reduces the level of confidence. That said, the historical head-to-head pattern and the tendency for both sides to score give grounds to consider Both Teams to Score - Yes at 1.73.
Correct Score Prediction
Based on statistics and probability distribution, the algorithm identifies three most likely scorelines: 1-1 (11.72%), 1-0 (10.89%) and 0-1 (9.15%). The 1-1 draw has the highest probability, though a one-goal win for either side is also considered fairly likely. The distribution across these outcomes is fairly even, with no clearly dominant option.
Match Result Prediction
In 7 of their last 8 head-to-head meetings, AEK Larnaca have failed to beat Pafos, which reflects a consistent advantage for the visitors in this fixture. Pafos have also gone unbeaten in all of their matches in domestic competitions this season. This suggests the visitors have a good chance of at least avoiding defeat here. We recommend Pafos or Draw at 1.52.
⭐ Editor's Pick

Head-to-head meetings regularly feature goals from both teams - the last encounter ended 2-2, which further underlines the pattern of open football between these two. The average goals statistics support the expectation of both sides scoring. The main prediction is Both Teams to Score - Yes.
