The Anorthosis - APOEL derby and the pitfalls of Agonistiki

Today's derby between Anorthosis and APOEL is crucial since both teams are fighting for the top together with AEL and Omonia. The two teams will face each other at 3:00 p.m. at the Antonis Papadopoulos Stadium… 

This match is the most critical, especially for Anorthosis.

If he beats APOEL, he remains in the top four and at the same time re-nominates for the title.

If he loses, not only does he lose the championship train, but he also risks losing the fourth place from Apollo who put up a serious candidacy.

On the other hand, AEL has now overcome all the derbies and so with a clear mind it can continue to lead the race.

 After the European obligations of APOEL and the action of the Coca-Cola Cup, return to the rhythms of Marfin Laiki Championship.

According to the match plan of the KOP, the curtain of the 21st match will open next Saturday with three matches and then on Sunday, February 19th.

Omonia is playing today at the GSP Stadium against Olympiakos, next Monday the local derby of Larnaca.
