AEK Larnaca prepares for crucial match against Karmiotissa

AEK Larnaca is set to face Karmiotissa on Friday in the 9th round of the Cypriot championship, aiming to secure three points before the upcoming international break. The team, managed by Ruben Selles, seeks a return to winning ways following a disappointing draw against Krasava ENY in the previous fixture. Currently, AEK has collected 17 points in the league, with nine of those earned at their home stadium, the AEK Arena.

Manager Ruben Selles faces a mostly full squad, with the return of players like Andereggen and Ivanovic expected to bolster the offense. However, Repas remains unavailable due to injury. A notable development for the team is the call-up of Chacon to the Venezuelan national team for the first time in four years, ahead of November friendlies against the Basque Country and Russia.

A victory for AEK would allow them to enter the international break in a strong position, potentially occupying the top spot in the standings. Achieving this win would mark the team's third consecutive home victory, a feat not accomplished since January 2026. The technical staff is emphasizing the need for consistency and concentration to avoid further setbacks during this critical period of the season.
