The victory of Pafos with combinations, the 2-3 goals in APOEL-Apollon, Real Madrid-Atletico and not only...

Lots of interesting matches today, as usual on weekends. Of course, there is no lack of derbies both in Cyprus and abroad.
Starting with ours, week 22 continues with three more matches. The big game between APOEL and Apollon is coming up. In the other two matches, Paphos travels to Larnaca to face Omonia Ar. and AEL hosts Anorthosis.
We have a super top derby in the Primera Division, as leaders Real Madrid welcome 2nd place Atletico Madrid and a great battle is expected...

Below you can see all the action in detail:

BORUSSIA DORTMUND-STUTTGART (16:30)
The Westphalians managed to win for the first time in the league inside the new season, although they were nervous against a formidable Heidenheim side. Dortmund, who had three defeats and a draw inside 2025 in the Bundesliga, went to Vade-Würtemberg determined to end their negative streak, a day before Niko Kovac officially takes over as technical director. If the home side want to challenge for a top-six finish, they will have to beat Stuttgart, who are coming off a home defeat to Gladbach. The differences between the teams this season in Germany are small if you exclude the duo at the top. The hosts have 29 points and are in 11th place and the visitors 32 in 5th place. From here one can easily understand the importance of today's struggle.

APOEL-APOLLON (17:00)
A very interesting game is expected at GSP, between two teams that are fighting to lock a place in the top six. It sounds a bit strange but that's the truth. They have fallen well behind the leading teams and APOEL is in 5th place with 36 points and Apollon in 6th with 34. The home team, however, are not convincing with their overall performances. A few nights ago they came out of the game with a 2-2 draw with Anorthosis away from home. The visitors, on the other hand, found their remedy with Sofronis Avgusti on the bench. They have risen psychologically but also in terms of performance. They qualified for the semi-finals of the Cup and are fighting for entry into the top six.

OMONIA AR.-PAPHOS (18:00)
Game with super favorite the leader Paphos. It's no coincidence that the guests are in first place, even playing some nice football. In such games, they show character and get the result they want. They did this last matchday as well when they won an upset over Omonia 29M (2-1). The home team put together a good lineup based on their budget. They will fight to the end to stay up, which for many seemed particularly difficult before the league started. Last week, they may have lost 1-0 to Apollon away from home, but they gave them a run for their money and proved once again that they are a formidable side.

AEL-ANORTHOSIS (19:00)
From bad to worse, this season's AEL, who if they don't start picking up points, it is possible that they could get into trouble. The Limassol team has been without a win since December 8, 2024, when they beat Carmiotissa 4-0. Eight league games followed and they have four defeats and four draws. We also leave aside the elimination from the Cup by Omonia. Marios Nikolaou recently took over the team and is trying to change some things. Last matchday, AEL lost 2-0 away to superior AEK Athens. Against Anorthosis they definitely want a return to winning ways, otherwise the situation will become more difficult. On the other hand, Anorthosis, is aiming to enter the top six and to have even more hope... they need to escape with a double. The "Lady" last matchday, came out with a 2-2 draw with APOEL at home.

REAL MADRID-ATLETICO MADRID (22:00)
Incredible things to watch this season in the Primera Division! What if Espanyol are fighting for survival? The Catalan side beat Real Madrid 1-0, who will go into tonight's top-flight derby against Atletico just +1 from the Rojiblancos! On the other hand, Atletico Madrid were also in danger of being punished several times by dangerous Mallorca, but Antoine Griezmann's goal sealed the three points (2-0) for Diego Simeone's team in the end. It is expected to be a battle tonight and interest is sky high.
