Omonia and APOEL face off in final derby of the season
Omonia and APOEL meet on May 16, 2026, at 18:00 at the GSP Stadium for the 9th round of the Cyprus League playoffs. The match is held behind closed doors due to a penalty imposed on APOEL. While the outcome does not impact the championship standings as Omonia has already secured the title, both teams are playing for prestige. Omonia aims for a victory to reach 87 points and surpass a historical points record. APOEL enters the match with significant challenges, facing 13 absences due to various injuries and suspensions, including the unavailability of three goalkeepers. Consequently, 18-year-old Michos is expected to debut in goal for APOEL. Omonia coach Henning Berg is managing several absences as well, with Maric, Panagiotou, and Semedo ruled out for the encounter.
