Europa League betting and spectator preview: Slovan Liberec and APOEL meet at Stadion u Nisy to measure strength and learn who makes it to the next stage.
Liberec have less rest than APOEL in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Czech Liga game only four days ago. That game was an away game at Pardubice, so at least Liberec are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
APOEL have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 2900 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Slovan Liberec form and stats
Action has already taken place for Slovan Liberec in Europa League as they have defeated Trakai and FCSB to reach the Play-offs.OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Slovan Liberec's two home games in the Czech Liga so far this season, having collected 4 points here at Stadion u Nisy.
Liberec faced defeat in their previous match, away at Pardubice (0-3). In the game before, an away victory in the Europa League match versus FCSB with a 2-0 scoreline.
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Liberec, as the Czech Liga home game vs Pribram is only three days away.
At Stadion u Nisy, Slovan Liberec has the goal stats of 5-2 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.
APOEL form and stats
The traveling awayteam has defeated Gjilani, Kaisar and Zrinjski in order to reach Play-offs of Europa League. They also participated in Europa League last season. This ended in the 16th finals.Things could have gone better for APOEL in their 1. Division away matches, but 3 points from 2 games is all right. The mentioned statistics is only from the league, looking at the Europa League stats, they have 2 wins, 1 draw and 0 losses both home and away.
The APOEL goalkeeper Joao Miguel Macedo Silva is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 198 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.
APOEL delivered a 2-2 draw playing at home against Zrinjski (after extra-time, 4-2 on penalties) in their previous match; a Europa League game. Before that one, a nice away victory 2-0 at Enosis.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with APOEL playing away and similar expectations, we found six relevant matches. Results were one APOEL win, two draws and three defeats.
The visitors will be packing their bags again in only three days as another away game awaits: The 1. Division trip to Ermis.
It's early days yet, but APOEL has scored 2 and conceded 3 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).
