A match in Athens, with... Manchester - Anorthosis is the favorite, derby in Limassol

MANCHESTER UNITED-FULHAM (16:00)

Manchester United hosts Fulham and has the first say in the victory. The "red devils" are in excellent competitive condition after the great double at the Emirates against Arsenal, which followed the big victory over Manchester City.

These two successes with Carrick on the bench significantly raised the expectations of the fans, who want to see their favorite team return to a leading role. United climbed to 4th place with 38 points and is +4 from Fulham, who are also on a very good run.

The Londoners come off a 2-1 victory over Brighton and travel to the "Theater of Dreams" with the aim of making a splash, as they did last year in the cup and the year before in the championship.

COMO-ATALANTA (16:00)

A particularly interesting game will be played in Como, with the team of the same name hosting Atalanta for the 23rd matchday of Serie A. Cesc Fabregas' team makes Italy talk about the football it presents and its overall course, looking ready not only to claim a European ticket, but even a place in the top four leading to the Champions League,since its distance from 4th Napoli is only four points.

Against them they will find Atalanta, which after the bad start found a rhythm, stood firmly on its feet and declares itself ready to pursue its goals. The Bergamo team is on 35 points, -5 from Como, and it is easy to understand that in the event of a double, the data changes significantly.

Both teams come from midweek away games. Como defeated Fiorentina 2-1, while Atalanta suffered defeat by Union Saint-Gillois, a result that did not deprive them of qualifying for the knockout stages of the Champions League. Como appears as a narrow favorite, however the performance of the home shows a decline.

AKRITAS-ANORTHOSIS (17:00)

With the psychology high, Anorthosis traveled to Paphos to face Akritas Chlorakas in a game of great importance for both teams. The blue and whites of Famagusta, after the big upset against AEL with 2-1, climbed to 10th place with 20 points, against 19 of Akritas, who comes from a heavy 4-0 defeat away from home by Apollon.

Marios Nikolaou's team has a negative streak of five games, however most of the games were against strong opponents, as is the case today. Against Anorthosis, however, he hopes for better luck and a return to positive results. The favorite of the match is Anorthosis, while in the first round match the two teams had drawn 2-2.

AEL-ARIS (19:00)

AEL enters today's game with the air of the recent victory and qualification for the cup, while Aris is called upon to manage the pressure of immediate recovery. This is how the data is formed before the match between them, with both teams coming from defeats in the league. AEL was defeated 2-1 by Anorthosis, while Aris suffered a heavy 5-3 defeat by Omonia.

The "light brigade" fell to -8 from the leader Omonia, while AEL is at -6 from the sixth APOEL and lost ground in the battle for the top six. Last Thursday, the departure of Mayabella and Kovalenko was announced, while Kvilitaia is also a thing of the past.

Gaustad, Nikolic, Semedo and Balogun are out of the squad for Aris, while AEL appears complete.

AEK ATHENS-OLYMPIACOS PIRAEUS (21:00)

Big derby in Athens between AEK and Olympiakos Piraeus. The Double-headed Eagle remained at the top of the standings after their victory over Asteras Tripolis and are +2 behind Olympiacos, who have a game less. The red and whites go to Hagia Sophia with a huge psychology, after their historic qualification to the knockout stages of the Champions League.

The Medilibar team prevailed in Amsterdam against Ajax 2-1, finished in 18th place and secured its participation in the next phase of the top club competition.

The Athens derby between two of the three main contenders for the title will not decide the champion, however it is clearly crucial for the continuation of the championship.

Olympiacos is a very narrow favorite.
