🗞️ Team News: AEL Limassol

There is just the lone fitness concern for the AEL Limassol gaffer Dušan Kerkez to be concerned about from a near full-strength set of players. Hugo Basto (Ligament Injury) will miss out.

📋 Team News: Olympiakos Nicosia

Olympiakos Nicosia boss Čedomir Janevski has not got a full squad to pick from. Nikolas Chatzimitsis (Unknown Injury), Fiorin Durmishaj (Unknown Injury) and Filippos Eftichidis (Ligament Injury) miss out here.

💭 Prediction

We believe that Olympiakos Nicosia will need to apply a lot of pressure to be putting a goal past this AEL Limassol lineup who we reckon should do enough to score at the other end and edge ahead.

With that in mind, we reckon that it will be a hard-fought 1-0 win for AEL Limassol at the conclusion of the game.

There should be little in it.
