APOEL take on the visitors Suduva at the GSP Stadium in the second leg match of UEFA Champions League 1st qualifying round. The match will be played in Nicosia on Tuesday, July 17th.
APOEL is quite a famous team for lots of fans all around Europe. There was a time several years ago when they got to the quarterfinals of UEFA Champions League. Last year the Legend had no problem finishing the season with 86 points after 36 matches and winning the gold in the Cypriot First Division. They have a very powerful offensive line which ended the last season with 92 goals scored. There were only 35 goals conceded by APOEL so the defensive line is quite good too. All last three home matches for the Cypriots ended with 2-1 wins (against Maccabi, Anorthosis and Apollon).

Suduva is not as famous for fans in Europe but the team is a very difficult opponent for every club in Lithuanian national league because of the confidence in their playing style. The team is a leader in their national league at the moment with 45 points after 19 matches. The Sudovians have a very strong offensive line which scored 39 goals and the defenders are good too having only 10 goals conceded. Last three away matches for Sudova ended with a 0-1 loss to Kauno Zalgiris, a 3-0 win against the same guys and a 3-0 win against Trakai.
The first leg match in Lithuania ended with a 3-1 win for Suduva. There is no doubt APOEL will be super motivated to win and Suduva is likely to get knocked out of the tournament. So I think there will be few goals in this match.
Prediction for the match: APOEL to win with -2.0 handicap.
