The blue and whites have three losses against Aris but have the chance to erase them with a win on Sunday
Apollo continues his preparation ahead of the decisive match against Aris next Sunday (14/5). The “blue and white” want to achieve their first victory over the “Brigadiers” this season which will overshadow the previous three defeats, provided that the team finally manages to secure a European ticket.
The first time the two teams met this year was on October 17 in Tsirio, with last year's champions as hosts. Aris won 3-0 thanks to goals from Kakorin, Dziave and Stepinski.
In the match of the second round (23/1) at the “Alfamega” stadium, the “Light Brigade” won 3-1. Scorers for the “Brigadiers” Kakorin (2) and Stepinski. Apollo's goal came from an own goal by Brosson.
Let's now go to the most recent game played on April 2nd in which Apollon was officially the home team. Aris got another win this time 1-0. “Golden” scorer for Alexei Spilevski's team, Julius Zoke.
So Apollo received three losses in equal number of matches with Aris. Nevertheless, he has the chance to overcome them by winning Sunday's derby, which is obviously judged to be the most decisive of the previous three.
If he wins and manages to secure a European ticket at the end of the year, then his only victory over Ares would erase the previous three losses. In a few words, Apollo has a “golden” opportunity to get his blood back in the best way, provided of course that he does his duty in the next matches saving the year.
