A historic night at GSP!
APOEL hosts Aris tonight (November 8, 7:00 p.m.) as part of the ninth matchday of the Cyprus League by Stoiximan. The home team wants to “seal the deal” with three points to celebrate its 100th anniversary, while the Limassol side is looking to secure a third straight win to close in on the top spot.

Coming off two consecutive wins against Omonia 29M (4-1) and Omonia Aradippou (2-1), the “blue-and-yellows” will aim to… make it three in a row, something they haven’t managed in 13 months, giving themselves—and their fans, who are expected to create a magical atmosphere—a birthday gift.
The Nicosia-based team is currently in sixth place with 14 points, and a win would move them up to third and cut the gap to the top to -3.
For its part, the “Light Brigade” is also enjoying an exceptional run, having defeated AEL (1-3) and Anorthosis (2-1), and will try to capitalize on its momentum to come away with three points from a… hostile away venue and continue on its winning streak.
The visitors are in fifth place with 15 points, and if they pull off this difficult task, they’ll… tie with AEL for second place and trail league-leading AEK by two points.
As for the team’s lineup, Nikos Papadopoulos will be without the suspended Sastre and the unfit Piero Sotiriou. Kattirtzis will remain sidelined until the playoffs, while Pedroso and Angelopoulos are back in the lineup.
On the other hand, Artem Radzkov is in the fortunate position of being able to count on Koreia again, who has served his suspension, while all other players are available as usual.
