Apollon has begun its preparations for the two upcoming matches against Dila Gori in the second qualifying round of the Conference League.

The Limassol team’s main and primary goal is to secure a positive result in Georgia so they can bring the tie back to the “Alphamega Stadium.”

Early this summer, Hernán Lozada had made strengthening the defensive line a priority, with Connor Goldson as a key transfer target. The plan was to form a strong defensive partnership with Kvidda.

However, after the English defender’s health issue was made public, the Limassol-based club immediately adjusted its transfer strategy, turning its attention to Emmanuel Aïvo.

The newly acquired 25-year-old Austrian defender was duly included on the European roster and appears ready to see playing time in the match against Dila Goriri.
