A matchup with a clear favorite in Limassol!
AEL hosts Krasava ENY today (11/7, 4:00 p.m.) at the “Alphamega Stadium” for the ninth matchday of the Cyprus League by Stoiximan.
The “Lions” have one goal: to live up to expectations and get back on the winning track after two consecutive losses to Aris (1-3) and Omonia (0-2), and to head into the international break with a positive mindset
Martins’ team is currently in fourth place with 15 points, five points behind the leader. If they manage to secure the win, they will temporarily move into second place, hoping for a slip-up by Apollon against Olympiacos to stay there. As for their gap behind league-leading AEK, it will narrow to 2 points.
On the other side, the visitors may be the underdogs, but due to their poor start to the season, they urgently need as many points as possible to climb out of last place.
With Romo on the bench, they’ve started to show signs of improvement, culminating in a “satisfying” draw (2-2) against Larnaca in the previous matchday, and they’ll aim to go head-to-head with yet another major rival.
In terms of the lineup, AEL will be without Kafou, Zoke, Densville, and Antoniou.
