APOEL vs Borac Banja Luka Prediction & Betting Tips (24 October)

Much less strong than when it played regularly in the Champions League, Apoel Nicosia must now be content to compete in the Conference League where it did not really shine, during the first day, with a draw conceded against a fairly weak Shamrock Rovers team 1-1. Champion of Cyprus last year for the 29th time in its history, the capital club has already fallen quite behind in the defense of its title since it is 6 points behind the leader, Pafos, after its defeat conceded before the international break against AEK Larnaca 0-1. Before this match, Apoel will try to move forward against Omonia Aradippou. For its part, Borac Banja Luka is a team much less accustomed to playing on the European scene than its opponent of the day since it does not played only his first match in a league phase on the 1st day.

He also had an interesting performance by holding off Panathinaikos 1-1. The champion club of Bosnia-Herzegovina is currently in 4th place in its championship, 3 units behind the leader despite its victory won before the break against Velez Mostar 2-1. Before this trip to Cyprus, Borac Banja Luka will face Igman Konjic and Zeljeznicar.

Ill before the international break, important striker Donis will be back. However, this will not be the case for midfielder Sarfo who is injured. In this team, the Moroccan Youssef El-Arabi, notably with Caen, Granada and Olympiakos, is a star. He has also found the fault 3 times in 6 league matches this season and he also scored his team's only goal in the competition. We also find in this group the defender Issam Chebake who notably wore the colors of Le Havre.

On the side of Borac Banja Luka, the squad of this team is completely unknown to the general French-speaking public and the vast majority of the group is not even not international of the Balkan selections. Offensively, this Bosnian team relies on the Serbian Serbotivic and the young prospect Kulasin who have both scored twice in the league this season. The first city also found the fault during the first day.
