First vs champion, big game at GSP - Derby in Italy, City looking for medicine, Barca tested in Vigo!

Saturday's schedule includes some great games. In Cyprus, two very important matches will be played in Paphos and Nicosia. In Italy, AC Milan will host Juventus, while in England Manchester City will be looking for the remedy of reaction. A tough test awaits Barcelona.

PAPHOS-APOEL (17:00)
A match is predicted at the Stelios Kyriakides Stadium between Paphos and APOEL for the 11th round of the Cypriot league.
Carlos Carcedo's side are unstoppable and should they beat the defending champions then they will be thundering for the title. Nine wins and a draw against Aris gave Paphos a cushion of safety against all their opponents. The hosts are +8 from APOEL and as can be seen in the event that the gap opens to 11 points then the standings will become very difficult for the blue and yellow.
APOEL have the way against Paphos. Last year they beat them four times and as such they have the... air. Manolo Jimenez helped APOEL find their lost competitive identity and went to the city of Evagoras to become the first team to beat Paphos.
If they can do so and close the gap to five points, then they will send the right signals that they are back in a strong position to maintain their gains.

OMONIA-APOLLON (19:00)
Another great game will be played on Saturday in Cyprus. With peculiarities and with huge scoring interest, Omonia will welcome Apollon.
Both teams are looking for stability in order to gain places in the table. Omonia are in 4th place with 19 points, two more than Apollon, who are firmly in the top six.
Both Omonia and Apollon have one serious problem each. The Greens are easily conceding goals and the Blue and Whites are finding it incredibly difficult to score, elements that make the match at the GSP even more interesting.
In the last two meetings, Omonia won 1-2 and 2-0.

MILAN-JUVENTUS (19:00)
Huge game will be played in the 13th round in Italy. Milan will host Juventus and this pair always attracts millions of stares.
The hosts are in 7th place with 18 points, six less than their opponents. Juventus may be in 6th place, but the gap between them and leaders Napoli is just two points.
Milan, where they try to show a reaction, they are breaking their backs. As happened after the huge double in Madrid against Real Madrid. The transition to the league was bumpy, as they came out of the game with a 3-3 draw away to Cagliari. Unlike Juventus who seem to be a gear ahead and much more stable. The Big Lady are coming off a 2-0 win in the Turin derby.
Juventus' last visit to the Giuseppe Meazza was successfully combined with a 1-0 win.

MANCHESTER CITY-TOTTENHAM (19:30)
Manchester City are looking for the medicine that will start to heal the wounds caused by the results of the last four matches. The champions are coming off an equal number of defeats, two in the league, one in the Champions League and the other in the cup to current rivals Tottenham.
Unprecedented circumstances are being experienced by the Manchester Blues with Pep on the bench. The Catalan coach, who has agreed a new contract according to the British media, has to find solutions and get his team back to success. The gap from Liverpool has increased to five points, along with the risk of losing the title. There may be many more games to go, but the Reds are in terrible form.
City will also host a struggling Tottenham, who are coming off two straight defeats. In fact, the last one against Ipswich at home was completely off the schedule.
Inside Manchester they will have to do everything right to have any chance of a positive result, even against the City we have seen recently.

CELTA-BARCELONA (22:00)
A tough test awaits Barcelona against Celta. The Blaugrana suffered their second defeat in the league last week against Sociedad and will be hoping to return to winning ways immediately in order to maintain their safe distance from Real Madrid.
Barca are the logical favourites to win and their reaction after the defeat that halted their seven-match winning streak in the league and Champions League will be keenly awaited.
Celta, on the other hand, are mid-table and are coming off an away draw with Betis (2-2).
In last season's games, Barcelona struggled but won on goal, 1-2 and 3-2.
