Prediction: 1-0
APOEL
There will be fireworks when Slovan Bratislava and APOEL take on each other at Tehelne pole in the first leg of the Champions League third qualifying round, first leg. Slovan Bratislava hammered Celje 5-0 in their last qualifying match and we are positive that they are going to stick to their attacking style of play. A man to watch in the home team will be centre-forward David Strelec, who represented Slovakia at EURO 2024 earlier this summer.
The Cypriotes, on the other hand, eliminated Petrocub in round 2, but their performances against the Moldovan outfit were anything but brilliant. Taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on Slovan Bratislava, who rolled over Celje in their last home fixture. APOEL midfielder Sergio Tejera is only one yellow card away from suspension, speaking of the away team.
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.
