AEL Seeks to Overcome 'Curse' to Reach Cup Quarterfinals

AEL faces Aris today (18:00) in a knockout match to enter the quarterfinals of the Cyprus Cup. Although nominally the away team, AEL will have the support of approximately 1600 fans. The team wants to end a negative streak of six defeats and one draw in seven matches against Aris, with an overall score of 21-1 in Aris's favor. A victory would boost the team's confidence ahead of the final stretch of the league. Coach Hugo Martins expects energy, passion, and fighting spirit from his players, as Aris has dangerous attackers. Stefanovic and Singh return to the squad for the match.
