These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Cyprus Cup. That game was an away game at Olympiakos, so at least AEL are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

AEL are done competing for places this season; they will remain in 2nd place whatever happens now. Apollon are staying put at 3rd place whatever happens for the rest of the season.
