A Difficult Away Trip for Omonia

Omonia faces Akritas in a match where they aim to capitalize on their home advantage and climb to the top of the standings. Despite being the favorites, Omonia is expected to face a tough challenge against an Akritas side in good form, having secured two consecutive wins and a draw against AEK. The absence of Omonia's fans, due to a ban, is an additional obstacle, as their support is crucial both at home and away. Henning Berg's team is targeting their fifth away win of the season, which would improve their away record, where they currently rank 5th in the league. Omonia boasts the league's best defense (10 goals conceded) and most prolific attack (34 goals scored), giving them a significant advantage. The absence of Koulimbalis will lead to a change in the lineup, with Stefan Simic most likely to replace the missing defender. In attack, Semedo and Tankovic will start on the wings, with Maé leading the line. Fabiano will be in goal, as Ouzho is away on international duty at the Africa Cup of Nations.
