OR AEK He faces Mars Limassol (07.08.2025, 19:00, Newsit.gr, Cosmote Sport 2), in the first match of the two teams for his third qualifying round Conference League. OPAP ARENA’s rematch will take place in one week (14.08.2025, 21:00).
Marko Nikolic’s AEK overcame Hapoel Ber Seva’s obstacle, 1-0 in New Philadelphia and Hungary’s 0-0 and wants to do the same against Mars Limassol to reach a step before the League Phase Conference League.
For his part, Aris Limassol dominated the Puskas Academy 3-2 in Cyprus and then 0-2 in Hungary and festive in the 3rd qualifying round of the competition.
AEK’s latest training in Cyprus had an unexpected, as Lazaros Rota did not participate.
The presence of the extreme international defender is valuable to the Union, as we recall that Mouzes Odubajo is off the AEK list for players with Cypriots. If Lazaros Rota does not give this present, then Pineda is extremely likely to fill his gap.
It is recalled that Antoni Marshall was cut from AEK’s European list, which came in by Luca Jovic, who did not travel to Cyprus with the rest of the mission.
