The best games from Matchweek 27
A highly anticipated match will be AC Omonia Nicosia vs APOEL Nikosia on 04/28/2024 at 16:00. APOEL Nikosia has the upper hand in this match, since they are currently on the first place in the table. However, they still want to make sure to keep their rank. APOEL Nikosia won their last match against Aris Limassol FC, while AC Omonia Nicosia didn't manage to score 3 points. So it will be exciting to see if they'll take this match as a chance to compensate for this. APOEL Nikosia also had a good run lately, winning 3 of their last 5 matches, but so had AC Omonia Nicosia. They won 3 of their last five matches.
Another match fans are looking forward to takes place on 04/28/2024 at 16:00. Here, Aris Limassol FC (currently in 4th place) will face Pafos FC (5th place). Aris Limassol FC might be in a weaker position here, since they didn't manage to win their last match against APOEL Nikosia–while Anorthosis Famagusta was beaten by Pafos FC. Looking at the teams' performance in their last matches can also be an indicator about their current form: Aris Limassol FC didn't perform well in the latest matches and lost the majority of them. Pafos FC's recent performance was a bit better: They lost 2 and won 2 of their last 5 matches.
People are also excited to see AEK Larnaca fight against Anorthosis Famagusta. They currently are in 2nd place and 6th place, making their match interesting to watch. AEK Larnaca is a strong opponent to fight for Anorthosis Famagusta, especially since the latter lost their last match while AEK Larnaca scored 3 points against AC Omonia Nicosia. You can also look at their recent performance to get an idea of their chances in the upcoming match: Anorthosis Famagusta wasn't so lucky lately, losing the majority of their games.

League Table - Who is at the Top of the Standings?
APOEL Nikosia are currently leading the table with 59 points and a goal differencial of 38 (54 scored and 16 received). So far, they have won 18 out of their 26 matches–but since they're only leading by 3 points, Aris Limassol FC (2/56pts) could take the lead this week, if they win their match against Pafos FC (4/50pts). Of course, APOEL Nikosia would also have to lose their match. In any case, players will give their best to help their team win. But not only the top of the table has some interesting matches to offer–teams in the lower half also have to fight hard to stay in their league and not finish the season in last place. At the last position, having twelve points, Doxa Katokopias (14/12pts) are currently fighting for more points and a better position in the 1st Division. But since there's no relegation process, at least they will stay in the league, even if they can't improve their rank.
The biggest positive change in position, compared to the last matchday, has been made by AC Omonia Nicosia (6/47 points), who moved up one position and are now in sixth place in the league. On the other side, Anorthosis Famagusta (5/49 points) made the biggest loss in positions, losing a total of one rank.
