Apollon Limassol manager Hernan Losada is preparing his team for the Limassol derby against AEL. Following a 1-1 draw against Omonia at the GSP Stadium, Apollon remains in the title race, sitting six points behind the league leaders. The team has shown significant improvement in the second half of the season under Losada, accumulating 28 points since the start of the year. For the upcoming match against AEL, Brandon Thomas and Morgan Brown will be available, though they are suspended for the subsequent game against Anorthosis on matchday 26 due to yellow card accumulation. A foreigner referee has been appointed to officiate the derby. The club is currently navigating administrative tension with Omonia regarding stadium hospitality issues. Additionally, the team remains in the semifinals of the domestic cup, marking a successful turnaround from their performance in the first phase of the season.
