Prediction: 2-0
Dila Gori
APOEL will be looking to defend their two-goal lead in the tie with Dila Gori when the two teams go head to head at Neo GSP Stadium on Thursday. The Cypriotes showcased their worth in the first leg, but they surely want to collect more points for their country by recording yet another triumph over Dila Gori. Experienced defender Jose Crespo is banned for the match due to the accumulation of yellow cards.
The Georgians, on the other hand, will have a mountain to climb in the second leg and given their difficulties on the road, we predict that the hosts are going to emerge triumphant in the Neo GSP clash. To make things even worse for the visiting side, important defender Alef Santos misses out through suspension after he was sent off in the first leg. Fit-again defender Ramaric Etou should keep his place in the starting XI.
Highlighted Team (APOEL):
APOEL are a Cypriot football club based in Nicosia. The Thrylos were founded on 8 November, 1926 and they won their first league trophy in 1932, defeating AEL Limassol 4-0 in the final. Over the years APOEL have established themselves as one of the best teams in Cyprus and they won their 25th domestic trophy in 2016.
The Thrylos participated in the 2014/2015 Champions League group stages, but they failed to make life difficult for the likes of PSG, Ajax and Barcelona, picking up no more than one point from possible 18. APOEL share a great rivalry with Omonia and the meeting between two teams is well known as the Nicosia derby.
A number of foreign footballers played for APOEL and it has to be noted that the likes of Daniel Florea, Dudu Biton, Marcos Tavares, Paul Okon, Dragisa Binic, Nenad Milosavljevic, Paulo Costa, Tiago Gomes, Alexandros Tziolis and Fernando Cavenaghi were all part of the team in the past. The colour of APOEL’s home kits is yellow.
