Apollon Limassol focuses on league restart after unbeaten start
Apollon Limassol enters the international break holding a fifth-place position in the Cyprus League with a record of one win and three draws. Despite remaining undefeated, the team, led by coach Hernan Losada, has collected only six points from four difficult derby matches against Aris, Anorthosis, Omonia, and APOEL. A statistical analysis reveals that 60% of the five goals conceded by the team came from penalty kicks, highlighting a specific defensive area for improvement before the league resumes.
Looking ahead, Apollon is preparing for a sequence of matches against Krasava ENY, Nea Salamina, and Karmiotissa. The club is hopeful that the returns of injured players Alen Ozbolt, Brown, and Ljubic will bolster the squad's depth and efficiency. Ozbolt, in particular, has demonstrated notable impact with four goals in six competitive appearances across all competitions. To maintain match fitness during the break, the team scheduled a friendly match against AEK Larnaca on October 3, allowing Losada to test reserve players such as Asoro, Ugbo, and Balogiannis while managing the workload of returning athletes. The team remains committed to converting their current momentum into consistent victories as they aim to climb the league table.
