AEK Larnaca Aims to Repeat Last Year's Escape in Paphos

AEK Larnaca travels to Paphos for a crucial match against the defending champions, aiming to stay on track for the championship. The team faces several absence issues, with Roden, Rubio, Naoum, and Tsakon unavailable. Suarez and new signing H. Kyriakou are available. Spanish coach Imanol Idiakez has limited options for forming the starting lineup due to the absences. A possible lineup includes Alomerovic, Ekpolo, Roberz, Milicevic, Garcia (Hairo), Ledes, Suarez (H. Kyriakou), Pons, Ivanov, Miramon, and Cabrera or Bajic. AEK Larnaca seeks to repeat last year's success at "Stelios Kyriakidis" and escape with a "double", especially after their elimination from the Cup. A victory will help them stay at the top of the standings and continue to compete for the title. The article focuses on the difficulties the team faces and the need to find solutions despite the absences. The match against Paphos is expected to be particularly demanding, and AEK will need to show character and determination to achieve a positive result.
