Pafos FC faces AEL Limassol in Cyprus League match

Pafos FC will host AEL Limassol at the Stelios Kyriakides Stadium on September 18 at 20:00 for the fourth round of the Cyprus League. Pafos enters the match as the current league leader, having accumulated seven points from their first three games, following a recent 1-0 victory against AEK Larnaca. AEL Limassol, meanwhile, travels to Pafos aiming for their third win of the season after a 2-1 victory over Nea Salamina, though they are still looking to stabilize their form following a heavy 0-6 defeat to APOEL earlier in the season.

Heading into the match, AEL Limassol faces significant personnel challenges, with coach Hugo Martins missing seven players. Cafu is unavailable due to a disciplinary suspension, while Gomis, Tsatakovic, Szoke, Almeida, Milosavljevic, and Peti Peti are sidelined due to injuries or lack of fitness. Conversely, AEL has added newcomer Chinedu Geoffrey to the squad, who is in contention for a starting spot. On the Pafos side, coach Ricardo Sa Pinto continues to manage his squad, welcoming back players like Biel who are regaining fitness as the team seeks to maintain their unbeaten start to the season before the upcoming league break.
