Going into this encounter, Pafos haven't lost in the league to APOEL in their last 2 matches.

APOEL

DWWLDW

APOEL will go into the game after a 0-2 First Division win against Olympiakos Nicosia in their last game.

For APOEL, the goalscorers were Stefan Dražić (80') and Nikolas Koutsakos (82').

A succession of steadfast showings by the APOEL defensive players has seen the number of goals they’ve conceded amounting to 4 from their previous 6 fixtures overall. In that time, their forwards have scored 9. That pattern isn’t assured to follow through here, though.

🗞️ Team News: Pafos

Pedrão (Cruciate ligament surgery) and João Correia (Muscle injury) will not be able to play for Pafos boss Albert Celades. The players who will not be able to play in this game through being suspended are Ken Sema, Derrick Luckassen and Jay Gorter.

💡 Prediction

When taking everything into account, APOEL will need to push hard to score against this Pafos side who should get the win and a maybe even keep a clean sheet as well.

We therefore fancy a very even contest with a 1-0 victory for Pafos when the full-time whistle blows.

Should be interesting.
