ΣΧΕΤΙΚΑ ΑΡΘΡΑ
The Limassol-based team is in excellent form, having recorded three consecutive wins against Krasava ENY, Nea Salamina, and Karmiotissa. With their morale high, they’ll aim to extend their winning streak, seeking their fourth consecutive three-point victory.
If they succeed, they’ll reach 18 points, at which point they’ll know whether a win will put them at the top of the table, since AEK faces Krasava ENY an hour earlier.
On the field, there’s good news regarding Hernán Lozada, as Assunção and Veisbek are back in the lineup. On the other hand, Rodríguez’s availability remains uncertain, while Andreou and Spoljaric are definitely out of the match.
On the other hand, the “Blues” aim to put an end to their three-game winless streak and return to winning ways, leaving behind their two consecutive scoreless draws in the league. Paphos’s biggest problem lies in its offense, as it has scored just seven times in as many matches, despite the chances it creates.
On the roster front, the availability of Noro and Biel remains in doubt, as they are dealing with injuries. Conversely, it is considered highly unlikely that Engamaleu, Goldar, and Pepe will play in tonight’s match.
Possible starting lineups for the match
Apollon (Ernán Lozada): Koun, Gaspar, Konomis, Kvidta, Malekkidis, Brown, Ljubic, Eskritse, Asoro, Thomas, Ozbolt.
Paphos (Ricardo Sa Pinto): Majewski, Bruno, Maé, Kina, Sema, Dragomir, Sunić, Guga, Correia, Mamandov, Lele.
