The visiting Apollon side should be favourites in this visit to APOEL, as the away team holds a 11 point advantage from their seven league games this season.
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Cyprus Cup match only three days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at PAEEK.
This is a match between teams from the same area, a local derby. The community is buzzing.
APOEL form and stats
APOEL have played 3 1. Division games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 1-1-1 (wins-draws-losses).
Times are rough for the home team, having gone 287 minutes without scoring a league goal. G. Zahid was the last player to find the net.
A strong away win for APOEL against PAEEK the last match, as O. Atzili, K. Apostolakis and A. Tuhami were on target. Prior to that, an away loss at Anorthosis in the 1. Division.
As indicated by the result mentioned above, APOEL played a great game against PAEEK and beat them comfortably. Expectations are high for this one.
