Analysis and forecast for the match of matchday 13 of the AEL Cyprus Championship – Aris (12.04.2023)
The Cyprus championship is in full swing and fans have no time to get bored. On December 4, AEL will play against Aris at the Tsirion Athletic Center stadium. The meeting will begin at 20:00 Moscow time.
Who will overcome the Avangard bond:
“Avant-garde” – “Cupid”. Tkachev, Boucher and Spooner have a lot of energy
AEL occupies tenth place in the standings with only 13 points. The club managed to reach them thanks to four wins and one draw. The lions defeated Doxa (1-0), AEZ Zakakiou (4-3), Othellos (2-1) and Karmiotissa (2-1). They tied with Omonia 0-0.
It is noteworthy that among the defeated teams only those that are even lower in the standings than AEL itself. Therefore, this season he did not defeat anyone higher than tenth place. The Lions achieved three of their four victories in their stadium and ended the game in a draw.
In the last two matches, AEL played against clubs at the top of the table. They lost in both games, first against APOEL by 0-1 and then against AEK by 0-3. Therefore, the Lions cannot score a single goal during this period. It is still unclear how “survivors” can improve their performance.
“Aris” is having a second consecutive great season. After winning the last edition, the club did not slow down and is trying to show that it was not luck. He occupies second place in the standings with 26 points. Leader Omonia has exactly the same number, as do APOEL and Paphos. The fight at the top is very close.
In total, the “light brigade” won 8 of 12 matches and finished tied in two of them. Alexey Shpilevsky’s team recently achieved a series of four victories in the Cyprus Championship, in which they beat Anorthosis (3-2), Ethnikos (2-0), Othellos (1-0) and Nea Salamina (1-0 ). However, the match was interrupted by the defeat in the match against Karmiotissa by 1:4.
Aris lost mainly due to elimination. In the 78th minute, defender Steve Yago received a red card, but despite this the Club tied the score at 1-1. However, the rivals then dominated and scored three more goals in the 87th minute.
They managed to redeem themselves in the match on the last day of the Cypriot championship against one of the leaders, APOEL. Shpilevsky’s team won the match 1:0. It’s true, thanks to the penalty converted in the 80th minute. Kokorin still doesn’t help. The Russian played six games in the current championship, but did not score a single effective action.
But in the Europa League matches he scored two goals and gave an assist. Aris is constantly distracted by European competitions. By finishing tied in the fifth round match with the Rangers 1:1, the “light brigade” lost its chances of reaching the LE playoffs. Now they need to defeat Sparta Prague in the last match to at least get a ticket to the Conference League.
Aris coach Alexey Shpilevsky recently spoke about Kokorin. According to him, it is too early to say that Alejandro is in top shape. According to the coach, he definitely looks better than during the match against APOEL. He also highlighted his great assist in the match on the last day of the Europa League.
None of the last 10 Limassol derbies ended with a total of more than 3.5 goals. This game will not be an exception. However, the choice in favor of Aris is obvious. The team gained good momentum. Yes, sometimes mistakes happen, but Shpilevsky has everything under control. In addition, Kokorin is gradually gaining optimal form, perhaps already in this meeting we will be able to see his first goal this season in the Cyprus Championship. Our bet is that Aris wins and that the total is less than 3.5 goals for 2.65.
Prediction and bets for the AEL – Aris match on December 4, 2023
AEL looks very bad this season. The team has not defeated anyone above line 10 and it is not yet clear how the management will correct this situation. “Aris”, in turn, looks great. The Light Brigade is constantly gaining points. They recently beat APOEL 1:0. In addition, Shpilevsky hopes that Kokorin has almost recovered his previous condition, which means that he will be useful. It is true that in the last 10 direct confrontations more than 3.5 goals were never scored. Therefore, we offer a bet on the victory of Aris, which is fighting for the championship, and the total is less than 3.5 goals for 2.65.
Tender: Aris wins and the total is less than 3.5 goals in 2.65.
