Crucial matches in Cyprus, super derby in the Greek Cup...

The competitive action tonight is rich and the focus is mainly on the Cyprus Championship but also on the Greek Cup. Starting with ours, two more games are scheduled today as part of Matchday 23. Apollon welcomes Karmiotissa and Nea Salamina welcomes Anorthosis in the "Varosiotiko" derby. For the Greek Cup, the first two semi-finals are held. Lamia-PAOK and the super derby AEK-Olympiacos.

APOLLONAS-KARMIOTISSA (19:00)

Last year's champions calculated things differently this year and otherwise they have come to them. They are even in danger of finding themselves outside the top six and outside Europe after many years. In the derby that preceded against APOEL away, they managed to take the lead but again made serious mistakes and in the end they conceded the defeat with 3-1. The psychology of the team is not at its best and the organized fans after the match called for the resignation of coach Konstantinos Makridis. However, this will hardly happen at this stage and tonight the match against Karmiotissa is crucial and important. There is no other result than victory, otherwise things will get much worse in Apollo. The visitors tried against AEK but did not get a point, something they want to do against the "blues". The management of the team, after this result, released the coach Sofronis Avgoustis, a development that almost no one expected. In his place was hired Alexander Kerzakov. In tonight's game he is the underdog but the Polemidia team proved that they can do the damage to anyone.

NEA SALAMINA-ANORTHOSIS (19:00)

Nea Salamina is driving people crazy this year. Having the second smallest budget in the league, he is claiming a place in the top six and let's not forget that he is also in the quarter-finals of the Cup. Savvas Poursaitidis' team made another surprise, beating Paphos 2-1 away, even playing nice football. After this victory, the "red-and-whites" have a good chance of being in the first group, especially if they win Anorthosis tonight. But their task will not be easy at all. The "Lady" began to find her feet and it is no coincidence that in her last game she threw four at Omonia with a twist. Certainly Anorthosis will throw its weight mainly in the Cup, but it will fight all the league games to the end. Balanced the odds set in "BookieCo".

AEK-OLYMPIACOS (20:30)

Very big game for the semifinals of the Greek Cup. It is the first match between the two teams, in the effort they will make to be in the grand final of the competition. Surely AEK in its hot home will try to win without conceding a goal and take a qualifying lead in view of a rematch at "Georgios Karaiskakis".
