Pafos have recent edge over Aris
Head-to-head and recent form
Pafos FC have the recent edge over their hosts in Limassol, having won one and drawn one of the last two meetings in Cyprus, the most recent of which finished 2-2 five weeks ago. Pafos are in better form than Aris Limassol, who have won only one of their last five (D2, L2), and boast a superior league position in fourth place on 52 points from 28 matches to the hosts in sixth on 44 points from the same number of games.
Home and away records
The 8 points difference between the clubs in the table is no disgrace to Aris, who have had a tough campaign and have been solid enough at home under Liasos Louka’s leadership since his appointment in February 2026. Limassol have won eight, drawn three and lost only three of their 14 matches at Alphamega Stadium.
Pafos have beaten them at this venue in the past, and have an away record of winning seven, drawing two and losing five of their 14 road games in the Championship Group. This fixture usually produces a close, competitive game - the last five head-to-heads between the sides at Alphamega have averaged 1.0 goal per team and the same looks on the cards on Tuesday.
Opposing styles make for an intriguing contest
Aris Limassol are a high-tempo side that presses hard in the final third, looking to win the ball back in wide areas and exploit their wide players, who are adept at breaking into the box and scoring. Aris have conceded 16 goals in 14 home fixtures, so there’s some evidence of defensive frailty that Pafos FC can exploit.
Pafos play a more patient, possession-based game, building from the back and probing through a disciplined midfield pivot to unlock defenses.
- Their superior away goals record is testament to their ability to find the net on the road, averaging 1.64 goals scored and 1.21 goals conceded per away match in the league.
- Dennis Gaustad has been a handful for opposition defenders in recent weeks, netting one goal in his last two league appearances for Aris, while Pafos have a clinical finisher at the top of their game in Joao Correia, who has scored five of his side’s last 14 goals.
- Quina is also making his mark on the Championship Group after scoring one goal in one appearance for his new team.
