On Saturday, in the match of the second round of the second part of the Cyprus championship, Larnaca "Nea Salamina" will play at home with Limassol AEL. We present to your attention the forecast for this match.
"Nea Salamina"
"Nea Salamina" leads the group of outsiders, having a 5-point gap from the nearest competitor. In early March, she crashed out of the Cyprus Cup, having failed to beat AEL at home (1:1) after an away defeat 0:1. The first part of the championship was ended with a crushing defeat from APOEL (0:3). Last Sunday, the Larnaca team confidently defeated Akritas on their own field (4:1).
AEL
AEL in the group of outsiders are in third place, 6 points behind Nea Salamina. Demotion in the class does not threaten him in any way, since the gap from the relegation zone is a comfortable 13 points. The priority for the end of the season, of course, will be the Cyprus Cup. After reaching the semifinals, the Yellow-Blues lost at home to Apollo (0:2) and Olympiacos (0:1) in the championship.

Forecast
In face-to-face meetings between these rivals, a lot of goals have not been scored for a long time. But "Nea Salamina" has been playing quite fun lately, without having serious tournament motivation. AELU also has virtually nothing to fight for, so the teams can play for fun before the international break. Larnaca should try to take revenge for the relegation from the Cyprus Cup. In addition, they have not lost at home to the "yellow-blue" since March 2019.
