APOEL hosts Sutjeska in the second leg of the Champions League qualification quarterfinals. The match will be played on Tuesday, July 30th at Neo GSP Stadium (Nicosia)
In my opinion, the offered option is great for those who do not believe in the abundance of goals scored in the upcoming match. In general, the Champions League qualification clearly demonstrates the need for physical training and the need to approach such matches in the best shape. Take at least APOEL. The team played well in the first match, created many chances, but after all, only one goal was achieved, and that one was scored after a penalty. The team wasted many attempts in the first half, and this indicates the lack of optimal conditions. Even in friendly matches, APOEL scored a maximum of one goal in each. For some reason, the team took a nearly two-week break before the Champions League match. It led to the fact that APOEL approached the first game in a rather bad shape; moreover, in the second half, APOEL lost to its rival. Cypriots did not create dangerous moments, and it is impossible to say that APOEl did not convert a 100% attempt in the second half. The team just sagged in the end. In the first meeting, most of the attackers have played in APOEL for the first time.

Sutjeska looked very good against the opponent’s background. The champion of Montenegro also didn’t convert a lot of chances, but they appeared stably. The problem is how Sutjeska can settle in Cyprus. It is much more difficult to play there than in Slovakia. And APOEL will try to show another football. Unlike the opponent, Sutjeska has already played in the Champions League in this season and eliminated Slovan after 210 minutes played. Plus, friendly matches at home gave some experience before the qualification. I will note that Sutjeska looked great in the endings of all three matches of the Champions League. The team conceded in only one of those matches, but this does not change the picture. In general, Sutheska never conceded more than three goals away throughout the entire history of performances in European competitions! And there was a match with strong Astana last year when Sutjeska lost minimally in Kazakhstan. So, in general, such low odds on goals of APOEL are unjustified.
According to the results of the first meeting, one cannot say that APOEL is so much stronger. Even semi-professional teams give battle to the representatives of the top leagues in this season. And the champion of Montenegro even has hopes for advancing further. But the visitors should diminish their ambitions after one or two goals conceded, and APOEL will simply stop.
Prediction for the match: APOEL to win and Under 4.5 goals scored
