- Venue: Alphamega Stadium (Kolossi)
Eager to swiftly reclaim the summit of the Cypriot top-flight, Aris will journey to the Alphamega Stadium to confront city rivals AEL in the Monday Limassol derby.
In recent years, AEL has been overshadowed by other Limassol-based clubs, and their once glorious days are now a distant past, especially with two consecutive seasons ending in eighth place. Truly, the seven-time Cypriot champions, whose last taste of silverware came in the 2011-12 campaign, are enduring yet another lackluster season and seem destined for a position outside the top six for the third consecutive year. Even with a game in hand, Yellow-Blues currently find themselves seven points behind the last playoff spot occupied by AEK Larnaca, and their struggles suggest that the 'red' zone will be their ultimate destination this season.
Unlike AEL, their city rivals Aris have been significantly more successful in recent years, with last campaign becoming Cypriot champions for the first time in their history, finishing just three steps ahead of the country's most trophy-laden club, APOEL. Balancing responsibilities in UEFA's second-tier competition, the Light Brigade couldn't entirely dedicate themselves to the defense of their domestic campaign, resulting in surprising setbacks like the recent away fixture where they suffered a disappointing 1-4 loss to the second-to-last-placed Karmiotissa. However, it didn't take them long to reclaim the path to success, as they triumphed 1-0 against APOEL in front of their home crowd, securing the second spot and leveling with Paphos at the top with a game in hand.
AEL Limassol vs Aris Limassol Betting Tips: BTTS
Despite Aris experiencing an impressive surge, in contrast to the ongoing decline of AEL, the verdant part of Limassol can pride itself on being significantly more successful in recent head-to-head matchups, emerging victorious in eight out of the last 11 encounters. Bearing this in mind, we dare not endorse the Yellow-Blues, despite their clear superiority over their city rivals. Hence, our betting inclination leans towards the goal market, as we are confident that both Limassol sides will carve out a path to the net in what promises to be a high-scoring and exhilarating showdown.
Excluding the goalless draw against Omonia, it's hard to ignore that AEL's defense has been breached in all of their last 10 matches in the top Cypriot division. However, the green side of Limassol doesn't appear rock-solid in the backline, especially on foreign turf, conceding 2+ goals in seven of their last 10 away matches across all competitions. With a mutual desire to shine in front of their fervent supporters and acknowledging their defensive vulnerabilities, AEL and Aris are poised to deliver an exciting match with goals flowing from both sides.

AEL Limassol team news
Former HJK Helsinki coach, Toni Koskela, is set to have nearly the entire squad at his disposal ahead of the Limassol derby against Aris, with the only absentee for AEL being Burundi international Saido Berahino, who is dealing with an injury issue.
The 40-year-old Finnish strategist will need to contemplate some changes as his team has been in poor form lately, suffering three defeats in the last four matches, with no goals found in the net in the past two consecutive games.

Aris Limassol team news
As for The Greens from Limassol, they will be without the services of two key forwards, as Shavy Babicka suffered an injury midweek in the match against Rangers, joining the recently injured Yannick Gomis in the recovery room.
Ghanaian international, Eric Boakye, is also grappling with injury issues, and he could potentially miss his seventh consecutive match across all competitions, following his injury setback on the third matchday of the second-tier UEFA competition against Real Betis.
