Dominates the Apollon-APOEL derby - Favorites Anorthosis, Omonia, and the rest of the action...
Return to action for the Cypriot teams after the brief Christmas break. Tonight opens the curtain on the 17th round with three interesting matches. Naturally, the highlight is the derby in Limassol, between Apollon and APOEL.
Below, you will see in detail all the sports action:
ANORTHOSIS-KARMIOTISSA (19:00)
Anorthosis wants to continue from where it left off in 2023 in its first game for 2024. The "Lady" comes from three consecutive wins, placing it in the 2nd position in the standings. It is the big favorite against Karmiotissa, which should not be underestimated. Karmiotissa has caused several surprises this season and appears to be in good form lately.
Although the hosts are not in their best form, it is still a derby, no matter how you look at it. Apollon will also present a new coach on the bench, the Spanish Pablo Machin. APOEL is the leader, playing very good football and coming from four consecutive wins. Theoretically, APOEL have the upper hand for the victory, but it is a question mark how Apollon will perform with a new coach.
The sole aim for Omonia is to return to victories after the defeat and, at the same time, a poor performance in the derby against APOEL. Against them is AEL, which may have lost to Pafos but generally had a good presence. AEL of Limassol, as it seems, are unlikely to be in danger, but they will also find it very difficult to fight for a place in the top six. So, they will play without pressure and, in the end, will make their profit.
