[(Pafos FC) Strength]:

2. Pafos FC have recently signed former Brazilian international defender David Luiz, who is expected to make his debut in this match. Throughout his career, David Luiz has played for many top-tier clubs such as Arsenal, Chelsea, and Paris Saint-Germain, and his rich experience will undoubtedly bring a significant boost to the team's defense.
