Apollon and AEK prepare for second round playoff match
Apollon Limassol will face AEK Larnaca on Sunday, April 5, 2026, at 19:00 at the Alphamega Stadium in the second round of the league playoffs. Apollon manager Hernan Losada faces significant defensive challenges as Josef Kvinda is suspended due to accumulated cards and Lam is absent due to injury, while Vouras remains a doubt. Conversely, AEK manager Xavi Roca is evaluating the fitness of Miramon, Naoum, and Suarez before finalizing his tactical formation. AEK has officially sold out their allocated tickets for this away match. Apollon enters the game aiming for a victory to secure a spot in the European qualification zone and maintain their title pursuit. The match is viewed as a critical test for Apollon, who historically perform well following league breaks. AEK, meanwhile, seeks to maintain or extend their current points gap over their rivals.
