Apollon is fired up for Saturday’s match (21/02, 17:00) against Ethnikos Achnas.
It’s not just about the standings. They want to break a recent trend of not beating this team at home, especially at Alphamega Stadium, where they haven’t won against the refugee team.
The last time Apollon won at home was on August 23, 2021, with a score of 4-2, but that was at Tsirio Stadium. Since then, every time they played Ethnikos in Limassol, they couldn’t secure a win. They faced them three times at Alphamega Stadium for the championship, and each match ended in a draw. Two matches were 2-2, and one was goalless.
The Limassol team needs to not only win against this opponent in front of their fans but also settle an issue that’s lingered for years.
This extra motivation could push Apollon to be more determined and effective. They aim to break this trend and keep their winning streak going with Hernan Losada as coach.
