Omonia prepares for match against Anorthosis following European exit
Omonia Nicosia is preparing for their 9th round league match against Anorthosis, scheduled for today, November 8, 2026, at 16:00 in the Antonis Papadopoulos Stadium. The team aims to return to winning ways following their 3-1 European defeat against NEC Nijmegen. Coach Henning Berg emphasized the need for focus and efficiency as the team seeks to maintain its position at the top of the league standings before the upcoming international break.
Managerial decisions have been heavily impacted by injuries and suspensions. Andronikos Kakoullis, Jure Balkovec, Negc, and Christou are ruled out due to injury, while Tanase is sidelined due to a disciplinary suspension. In response to these absences, Lois Diony is expected to lead the attack. Notably, Muamer Tankovic is set to return to the starting lineup, having been rested during the midweek European fixture. The club confirmed a 21-man squad for the away clash in Larnaca, with Fabiano expected to start in goal as the team looks to overcome physical and mental fatigue accumulated from their tight schedule.
