Cyprus’s last match was against Malta a month ago and it finished in a 2:2 draw at home. Prior to the last encounter, the nation was on a run of six losses in a row and still has not registered a win. Playing at home has shown to be decisive as six of Cyprus’s last ten meetings ended in a victory for the hosting party, which lost only two of those. Three of the nation’s five last matches had over 2.5 goals and one witnessed goals at both ends of the field. Cyprus conceded in all of those, they failed to score score in four of the encounters. There were a total of 14 goals scored across the team’s five most recent games, which focuses our attention to the over 1.5 goals market.
