“Finishing” the Top Six and Gaining Momentum

APOEL faces AEL at “AlphaMega” in a crucial match for entering the championship’s top six. The blue and yellows, with boosted morale after their victory against Omonia, aim for a win that will virtually secure their place in the top six, as they have a six-point difference from AEL with two games remaining. AEL, on the other hand, will play their last card to compete for a place in the top six. An APOEL victory will also give them momentum for their attempt to qualify for Europe through the league and the Cup. APOEL has a difficult final stretch with derbies against Anorthosis and Aris. The APOEL coach asked his players to forget the victory over Omonia and focus on the next win. Kostas Stafylidis will be absent due to a strain, while Maioli is doubtful. The team will play without the support of fans due to a ban.
