Nea Salamina hosts Anorthosis in Varosha derby

Nea Salamina faces Anorthosis tonight at 19:00 at the Ammochostos-Epistrofi Stadium for the fourth round of the Cyprus League by Stoiximan. Nea Salamina has had a difficult start to the season, securing only one point in three matches, which has increased pressure on coach Angel Lopez. Lopez is struggling to define a stable starting eleven, having made seven changes in the previous match against AEL. For the upcoming derby, Angielski remains suspended, and Konfe is out due to injury, though Ebo, Gerolemou, and Victoros are expected to be available.

Anorthosis approaches the match with high morale following their 2-1 victory over APOEL. Coach Nestor El Maestro aims to maintain the team's momentum and secure a second consecutive win. Anorthosis boasts a strong recent record at the Ammochostos-Epistrofi stadium, remaining unbeaten in their last nine league visits, including six consecutive away wins. While Bergstrom is unavailable due to injury, Van Nief returns to the squad. The team is looking to capitalize on the recent form of players like Kiko and Rafa Lopes to consolidate their standing before the upcoming international break.
