Cyprus vs Estonia prediction, preview, team news and more
Cyprus host Estonia in the second leg of their UEFA Nations League relegation playoffs on Tuesday. The sides played out a goalless draw in Tallinn earlier this week. Both teams are winless in their last few games. Cyprus's last win came against Slovenia in a World Cup qualifier a year ago.
Cyprus have won four of the 10 previous clashes with Estonia. Cyprus have lost to Estonia on two occasions.
Demetris Christofi could start for Cyprus against Ludogorets Razgrad. Pieros Sotiriou is two goals away from becoming Ludogsoret Razgrads' joint third all-time top-scorer.
Henri Anier is two goals shy of becoming Estonia's joint second-highest scorer of all time. Estonia have no injured players.
Cyprus (3-4-3): Neofytos Michael, Chambos Kyriakou, Alex Gogić, Nikolas Panayiotou; Minas Antoniou. Kostakis Artymatas, Grigoris Kastanos, Nicholas Ioannou and Demetris Christofi. Pieros Sotiriou is the substitute for Ioannis Pittas.
Estonia's team is: Matvei Igonen, Maksim Paskotši, Joonas Tamm, Ragnar Klavan, Karol Mets, Henrik Ojamaa, Konstantin Vassiljev, Vladislav Kreida, Mattias Käit, Henri Anier, Sergei Zenjov. Cyprus' team: Raskolm Klaven, Mathew Aniers, Kostan Vastilje, Vadim Vaskoški, Karlos Mets.
Neither Cyprus nor Estonia have world-class players, but Cyprus has home advantage. Estonia offered defensive resolve in the first leg, so Cyprus should win this one and relegate the visitors.
