APOEL – Slavia Praga PREDICTION & TIPS
APOEL Nicosia
The start of the season on the international level was quite satisfactory for APOEL Nikosia. The performances were still rather poor, especially in the first duels, and they beat the Luxembourg club Dudelange twice with 1-0. There were more problems with the Romanian club Vitorul, where APOEL lost 0-1. In front of their own audience, they finished with a 4-0 win. Accordingly, it seems quite clear where the strengths of the master are from Cyprus. In general, Cypriot teams are considered to be enormously homosexual, while they often face problems abroad. One disadvantage for APOEL is certainly the fact that the national championship has not yet come into the aisles. In general, with a few exceptions, Georgios Donis’s team in the league lack the competitors they really demand. This makes it all the more difficult to compete internationally. Coach Donis can always rely on a powerful substitute bank. Lastly against Vitorul were two of the four hit by change players. They were also very dangerous in standard situations. On two occasions, interior defenders appeared as scorers. However, with Piero Sotiriou, APOEL had to pull his best scorer in this transfer window in the direction of Copenhagen. In terms of squad, the Cypriots are on the verge of experience, the average age of the starting line against the Romanians was 31, 8 years. Positively: APOEL can compete in the best position on Tuesday, has no injuries at the moment. In terms of system technology, the focus is on a compact midfield in the defensive 4-4-2 system. In the case of ball possession, at least one of the two defensive midfielders usually switches into the offensive in order to create an overshooting situation. How APOEL can be a real success is a look at the pre-season. Not one of the 13 home games was lost, instead they won 13 times and won two draws. The strengths of the team were above all in the defensive area, as only 16 opponents in 26 games show. Also internationally, with exceptionally victorious victories at home, they were able to defeat Rosenborg Trondheim 3-0 and Athletic Bilbao 2-0.
Slavia Prague
Slavia Prague has already started in the national season. Interesting detail on the edge: after three game days, Viktoria Pilsen is behind a team in second place, who had to leave the international competition. In the previous round of qualifying, Slavia teamed up with BATE Borisov to create a team that had already been able to cheer up the group stage. However, only the home game was won in this duel. What is the problem with the Czechs? Away from home, Los Slavia Prague are almost unaffected by fear of a team, as they are still in the league without victory. In the only away game against Banik Ostrau it was only a 0-0 draw. Against Borisov were lost with 1: 2. Like APOEL, the Czechs also put their faith in a stable defensive. In comparison to the market values, the Jaroslav Silhavy team is almost twice as worthy as the opponent from Cyprus. However, we believe in the concrete case to the football wisdom that money does not score goals. However, the transfer policy of the capital cities is quite impressive. With the midfield player Danny from St. Petersburg, the player who was the best scorer in the Europa League until his doping stoppage was committed. In addition, Halil Altintop was a player with a lot of international experience. Despite the weakness at the end of the day, the fact remains that Prague have not lost a single league game, instead two victories and the mentioned draw on the Habens side. The fact that these two signings have been strengthened already shows the fact that they have already been successful in the league. The Czechs are also in the best position on Tuesday. How strong Slavia can be defensive also showed the previous season. In the last five games only one contender was conceded. In the last resort, they were very successful, especially in standard situations. Vysocina (2-0) scored both goals from dormant balls. A problem could however be obtained with fast counter-attacks, for which APOEL is also known. The Czechs’ foreign defenders are considered not to be very sprint-strong.
