ΣΧΕΤΙΚΑ ΑΡΘΡΑ
The “Yellow-Greens,” making their debut under new head coach Rubén Cejes—who had only a few days to prepare his team— are looking to get off to an ideal start in the competition, especially after their European elimination. The Spanish coach had all available players at his disposal and is putting his game plan in place.
On the other hand, the “blue-and-yellows,” also making their debut under new head coach Nikos Papadopoulos, aim to get off on the right foot in this historic year marking the club’s 100th anniversary. The Greek coach will be without the injured Piero, Kattirtzis, Mancini, Zelenika—who has not yet been registered due to a transfer ban—and Rosa, who is expected to leave.
Possible starting lineups
AEK: Muftić, Ekpolo, Milicević, Samborit, Pileas, Repas, Ledes, H. Kyriakou (Pankov), Lagioni, Amin, Bajic.
APOEL: Belets, Sastre, Degenek, Laifis, Stafylidis, Vrontis, Dalcio, Jurišić, Marquinhos, Limnios, Pedroso.
