AEL Seeking Immediate Reaction

Published January 17, 2026, 07:17

AEL faces Akritas today (17/01, 17:00) at the 'Stelios Kyriakides' stadium in the 18th matchday of the Cyprus League by Stoiximan, aiming to return to winning ways after their defeat against Omonia. The 'lions' recognize that Akritas is a dangerous opponent, despite being considered easier compared to others. The Limassol team had a good performance in the derby against Omonia and wants to build on that, ahead of the important Cup match against Aris (21/01). Due to being -6 points behind the top six, winning the Cup has become a primary goal. There are significant absences in AEL's squad, as Sing, Stefanovic, Ferrier, Ouendroagko, Neofytou, Frantzis, and Szoke are out of the plans due to cards and injuries.
