In the pre-Papastavrou era, Apollon made an impressive series of victories for three to four years when he played with Omonia in GSP (in the first phase of the championship). However, since Henning Berg took over the technical staff in the clover, things have changed and the blue and whites are counting two defeats in the last two meetings of the two teams in Nicosia.
It is worth mentioning the fact that Alexander Tsorniger from tomorrow (17:00) will become the fourth coach to face the Norwegian coach in the two and a half years he has been working for last year's champions. The three previous ones were Sofronis Augousti, Ivan Vukomanovic (the Serb only endured in Kolossi for a month) and Giannis Petrakis.
The German coach of Apollon wants like crazy to celebrate the double against Omonia. But he also knows the difficulty of the match as the opponent is hurt by the bad start, having harvested only four points in four games, and he will surely look for victory.
They are also injured in Apollon, because in the previous match they suffered a heavy defeat by AEK at home (4-1) and they will also be looking for three points in turn. The blue and whites for the first time in this year's championship go out of Limassol and will give everything to have a positive… foot. To rebuild their psychology, but at the same time they want not to lose the top of the scoreboard (in case AEK beats PAEEK).
Racing data
As for Apollon's absence, nothing new emerges, as Zorniger will not have the following three players at his disposal: Sasa Markovic, Fano Katelari and Arno Dzum.
The possible squad that the German coach will line up in tomorrow's derby are the following: Alexander Jovanovic, Haris Maurias, Haitam Alesami, Vukasin Jovanovic, Valentin Roberts, Hambos Kyriakou, Israel Kol Kol, Basel Ios Rangelo Yanga (Bakali Dabo).
