The championship title was lost, as was the cup. It now remains to obtain a European ticket and Anorthosis enters the final straight of the marathon with its back to the wall. With the pair Omonia-Ethnikos, two teams competing in the second group, the fifth of the six out of six has lost the right to a European dream. That is why, now, in “Kyria” they burn more to enter the top four, otherwise the goal of Europe will be thrown in the basket.
The team of Famagusta is currently in 5th place with 45 points, two behind the 3rd AEK and one behind the fourth Aris. However, it is also threatened by the 6th Paphos (43b.), A team that will face next Monday (19:00) at “Antonis Papadopoulos”. It does not need much analysis how important it is to get the three-pointer.
The last time the “Lady” celebrated a victory was exactly one month ago, when on April 6 had beaten APOEL 1-0 for the cup institution. Five games followed (three in the league and two in the cup), with Anorthosis suffering two defeats, while in the other three they brought an equal number of draws.
After the match against Paphos, the team of Timur Ketspaia has to face APOEL in GSP and then, in the final of the championship, Aris at its own stadium. The best scenario for Anorthosis is to get the maximum of points with three victories, so that she can win the European ticket with her sword, without depending on the results of others.
With returns
In the match, based on the existing data, Timur Ketspaia does not count on the punished Abartzumyan, while Artymatas, Verhovets and Christodoulopoulos, who served their punishment, return to action. In the next few days, the situation of Risvani and Rousia, who were out with Omonia due to injury, will be clarified.
When the time comes
Beyond that, there are many issues in “Lady” that will be clarified after the end of the current racing season. Issues such as the coexistence of Timur Ketspaia and Neophytos Larkos, who is coming to the blue and white team for technical director, the administrative issues and the scenarios for various footballers are being put aside, since at this moment it is important to ensure Europe's goal and not become catastrophic year, which started with the best omens with the participation in the European groups of the Conference League.
