AEK Larnaca enters league break following three consecutive clean sheet victories

AEK Larnaca has utilized the current international league break to rest following a demanding schedule of matches in Cyprus and Europe. Under coach Javi Rosada, the team achieved three consecutive victories, including a win over APOEL, which has helped narrow the gap to the league leaders. A notable tactical improvement is the team's defensive performance, having kept clean sheets in their last three matches. This achievement marks the first time this season and the first time in 15 months that AEK has maintained such a defensive streak. Following a six-day break granted by the coaching staff, players are scheduled to return to training on Monday, excluding those participating with their national teams. The team is currently preparing for their next match, an away fixture against Apollon Limassol. Despite the high intensity of previous fixtures, including a match against Crystal Palace, the team maintains a strong position in both the domestic title race and European qualification efforts. The club has also benefited from recent point losses by Omonia, further distancing themselves from other competitors.
