Look at this entertaining match in the 1. Division. Apollon is in the 1st spot after completing two matches. They host APOEL who are placed 12th after two games.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
This is a game between neighbours, usually meaning more mental strain and importance.
