Apollon and AZ get a break from their league challenge to fight for a possible trophy in this Europa Conference League Group Stage fixture.
AZ have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 3700 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Apollon and AZ.
Apollon form and stats
Last season, Apollon's Europa Conference League journey ended in the 2nd qualifying round against Zilina.Seven points from three 1. Division home games is a great start for Apollon, who are hoping to build on that form here at Neo GSP.

Apollon are returning here after visiting Anorthosis and winning with a 1-0 scoreline. Pittas scored the goal(s).
Before that game, a defeat in the away fixture against AZ in the Europa Conference League.
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Apollon, as the 1. Division home game vs Aris is only four days away.
The Apollon fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 4 in 3 matches. From these home matches, Apollon have conceded only 2 goals.
AZ form and stats
