APOEL has kept a clean sheet in only one of their three matches this season. Slovan has won six matches and drawn one in the new campaign. The first leg in Slovakia ended with a 2-0 victory for the home team.
APOEL
Last season, APOEL reclaimed the championship title after five years. During this transfer window, the team strengthened with several quality players who are expected to help in the fight to reach the main draw of the continent’s premier tournament.
In the previous stage, the Cypriots narrowly defeated the Moldovan champions Petrocub over two legs. Slovan is considered a stronger opponent, as confirmed by the first match in Bratislava.

In the new season, Slovan has already defeated North Macedonia’s Struga and Slovenia’s Celje in the Champions League and has confidently started in the national championship.

Prediction
Our expert pick:
APOEL unexpectedly lost by two goals to Slovan away, but the outcome of this encounter is far from decided. The Cypriots have enough experience to overcome such a deficit, and despite being in good form, Slovan is not an unbeatable opponent, so it makes sense to favor the hosts.
We believe the visitors have no chance. Our prediction is a victory for APOEL. This bet is offered at odds of 1.97.
APOEL will undoubtedly be aggressive in attack from the very first minutes, aiming to score at least one goal in the first half. Slovan will likely struggle to cope with such pressure, but the Slovaks will have plenty of space, and they score regularly, making an exchange of goals almost inevitable.
Bet: Both teams to score. This bet is offered at 1.89.
