- Competition: Cyprus League
- Date: Tuesday, 7th January 2025
- Kickoff: 17:00 UK / 18:00 CET
- Venue: Alphamega Stadium (Kolossi)
Apollon Limassol are playing according to the expectations this season. They are a top-six team, but Sofronis Avgousti is hardly capable of even competing for the Conference League qualification places. Apollon Limassol struggled for most of November and December, but they closed the year with two wins, and now the confidence around the squad should improve. In the previous match, they won 1-0 on the road against AEL Limassol. The teams were pretty even in that game, but the guests found a way to pick up all three points.
Aris Limassol are probably the only real competition for Pafos in the title race. They are only one point behind the league leader and it seems that Aris could compete to win their second title in history. Aliaksei Shpileuski's team is in great form, with six wins in the last seven matches. In the previous game, they won 2-0 at home against Omonia Aradippou. The home side probably expected an easier win against one of the worst teams in the competition, but a solid display in the second half was enough for victory.
Apollon Limassol vs Aris Limassol pick: Under 2.5 goals
Apollon Limassol scored only three goals in the last five matches. On the other hand, Aris Limassol allowed only one goal in the previous three games. Apollon and Aris had one h2h2 match this season, and in that one, it was 0-0. We should expect another low-scoring Limassol derby on Tuesday evening.

Apollon team news
After a win against AEL, Apollon's head coach, Sofronios Avgousti, was very satisfied. He said, "We had a derby today, certainly not like the old ones where the two teams had higher goals. I am very pleased with the performance of the players. We kept a clean sheet for the second game in a row and got the victory. On Tuesday, we have a very important game, and we all realize how different it would be if we had our fans after two consecutive victories. We will face a very good team like Aris, and we will fight for the three points."
