Slavia Prague – APOEL PREDICTION & TIPS
Slavia Prague
Form, one thing is clear: Slavia Prague will probably start a real storm on Wednesday. Against compact Cypriots it will not be easy to make the 2: 0 residue from the first game still wettzachen. In addition to that, Jaroslav Silhavy’s team have always had problems with their goals in the past matches. After the goalless 90 minutes against APOEL, they also had to contend with Bohemians with a goalless draw in the championship match. It was already the third of seven competitive games, which was finished without a goal, more than one goal only succeeded in one game. In this respect, the signs of a possible ascent are conceivable. In addition, Slavia missed his defensive stability in the first leg of the playoff. The away games in the Champions League were the only ones in which goalkeeper-veteran Jan Lastuvka had to go. In the league are not only still completely conceded, but also still unbeaten. At the same time, very strong performances were offered at home. However, it is important for the Czechs to keep the concentration high from the first second. Why do we emphasize this explicitly: In the first game, the Silhavy elf slept in the initial phase, collecting the final deciding goals already in the minutes two and ten. Physically, too, one will have to increase, especially in the important two-fights, the Prague against Nicosia usually had the hindrance, so also in consequence of one or the other standard situation. Igor de Camargo was just a bit quicker than the entire defense of the opponent and could lead to the lead. The fact that in the two-battles occasionally something too lashed, shows also the fact that in the 90 minutes in Cyprus not a single yellow card picked up. Bitter: With midfielder Danny is a player, which normally enormously a lot of goal danger emanates, currently injured, also lack defenses Simondell due to an ankle injury.
APOEL Nicosia
The Cypriot club football has been no more than a marginal note in international club competitions in recent years. This could change on Tuesday evening. And it is not just the first game result that makes Nicosia jump into the group stage. The team from the capital of Cyprus is an extremely experienced, the average age of the startelf a week ago was a proud 31.4 years. Accordingly, one should not be left alone by a possible cauldron in Prague. The main disadvantage of the guests is that they still have much less playing practice than their opponents. The previous international games were the only on the compulsory playing field. The fact that they can be found abroad against a defensively stable team can be found, for example, the narrow 1: 0 success against Dudelingen in the 2nd qualifying round. Even against FC Vittorul from Romania were held in the foreigners well, lost 0: 1, but the opponent came from a direct free-kick. APOEL is also a team that has one of its major strengths in switching games. A decisive advantage for Wednesday, after all, the home owners will have to reveal rooms. In contrast to his opponent, Georgios Donis can send his best team on the pitch. Hope also comes from the fact that one should also be equipped for a possible extension. On the other hand, APOEL have already had a good experience against Vittorul, who beat Romanians 4-0 after extra time. The international appearances of the pre-season showed that it is possible to compete with far stronger teams abroad. A 2-1 defeat of Bilbao in Sán Maméz, Olympiacos Piraeus was defeated by a 2-1 defeat. Fear and anxiety therefore do not have to be the guests on Wednesday.
Slavia must be more active in the return leg than in the first leg. Defensive you have little to fear when you look at the latest performances, but the opponents’ quick counterattacks might break the Czech Republic’s neck. We expect a home victory for Slavia, but also with a rise from APOEL.
