Aris Limassol to face Anorthosis in Cyprus League match
Aris Limassol is set to host Anorthosis Famagusta this Sunday at 18:00 at the Alphamega Stadium for the 8th round of the Cyprus League. Aris currently sits in 6th place with 12 points and aims to continue its upward trajectory following a strong performance against AEL. Coach Artyom Radkov will have players Verton and Badelj available, though Correa remains sidelined. The club’s spokesperson, Kostas Papadopoulos, emphasized the need for consistency against a historic side like Anorthosis, regardless of the visitors' current challenges.
Anorthosis, under new manager Barak Itzhaki, enters the match with improved confidence following a recent 2-0 victory against Omonia Aradippou, which ended a streak of three consecutive defeats. However, the club faces a significant hurdle: they have lost all four of their away games this season, scoring only one goal while conceding nine. Itzhaki is working to implement a new high-pressing philosophy. Defender Bergstrom remains out with an Achilles issue, while Satin and Fan Niif are returning to training, with their participation to be decided last-minute. Both clubs jointly requested the time change to 18:00 to encourage higher fan attendance.
