Prediction
We’re of the opinion that APOEL can and should have the majority of the possession and should be able to turn a few of their chances into goals.
Conversely, Doxa Katokopia could well struggle to find the back of the net but we do fancy them seeing enough of the ball to score, too.
We’re therefore anticipating a 3-1 winning margin for APOEL come full-time.
