Great matches with huge scoring interest in Cyprus and incredible bonuses
Great matches at all levels will take place on Saturday in the Cypriot league. The first game of the season doesn't have the scoring interest that the other two have.
Saturday's schedule in the Cypriot league will open with the most unimportant game in terms of points, but traditionally the biggest compared to the others.
APOEL will host Apollon, with the hosts desperately wanting a win in order to maintain their slim chances of occupying the 4th place, which under certain conditions will open the way to the Conferences League qualifiers.
On the other hand, Sofronis Avgusti's side will be hoping to combine their trip to Nicosia with a first win over a rival from the first group. This is a quite negative statistic, the likes of which have not been seen in recent years.
No additional problems arose for either team.
The previous two games this season ended in a goalless draw.
A big game is expected at Arena between AEK and Aris, with both teams desperately wanting to win for different reasons. The yellow and green team to stay in 3rd place and raise their hopes for something better and the green team to take another step towards the title.
After the draw in the opening round of the playoffs, the Larnaca side lost significant ground on the title, with 12 points looking impossible to cover at the moment. A win at the expense of second-placed Aris could give the yellow and green team the belief they need to exhaust their chances.
Aris go to Larnaca to do what they could not do in the first leg of the league. To win at the only stadium they lost on. The light brigade has only one defeat and that was at Arena against AEK, which they didn't even beat in Limassol.
Both teams are armored for the important game.
Aiming to stay at the top of the standings and in case Aris loses points to open the distance from the second place, Paphos will host Omonia.
The Greens travel to Paphos to celebrate their first playoff win after drawing with AEK Athens in the opening round and the Blues to make it 2 out of 2 after their success over Apollon.
The two teams know each other very well, as apart from the league games, in which Omonia won home and away, they also faced each other in the historic Confederations League play-offs. There, Paphos won the replay 2-1 (1-1 in the first match) and got the magnificent qualification that will be remembered forever.
In addition, today will be the eighth Carcedo-Anastasio clash with the history of the match being in perfect balance. Both coaches have two wins each, with the other three games ending in a draw.
