AEL faces a crucial match against Omonia in Limassol tomorrow. The importance in the standings is obvious, as the team aims to secure a spot in the top six by the end of the regular season.
This is also an important test for another reason. Since Martins arrived in Limassol, apart from the win against APOEL, the team has not shown its admirable character in other games against championship contenders, struggling significantly against opponents.
They need to achieve this, mainly for psychological reasons, as well as for points.
If they manage to challenge the team currently considered the top favorite for the championship, it will convince everyone that the gradual move away from the ‘miserable’ era is progressing satisfactorily.
On the field, Leo Natel will be available, having watched the match at Dasaki from the stands. It wouldn’t surprise us if Martins gives him a starting position, as he opened his scoring account right at the start of his collaboration with AEL. On the left side, it will be interesting to see if he uses Milosavljevic again or brings back Imanishimwe.
