APOEL vs Celje Prediction & Betting Tips (20 February)

The apoel limited the breakage in the first leg a week ago 2-2. Indeed, the Cypriots had to adapt to the exit on the injury of striker Donis, or the exclusion of the central holder Dvali in the 2nd period. So, we can clearly say that this is an excellent result for the evening premises but however, they also chained a fourth match without victory all competitions after two draws in the league against Apollo at home 0-0, and anorthosis On the 2-2 route. We also identify a road trip in the 1/4 final of the Cyprus Cup after the fateful session of penalties against Pafos at home ... Last weekend, the emblematic Cypriot football club faces the Ael Limassol in the championship to follow.

In front, we cannot say that the draw last week was a good result with the evolution in numerical superiority for a little more than a quarter of an hour 2-2. Despite his double, Kucys lacked the hat -trick with a failed penalty. It is also a negative result for the Slovenes since they remained on two consecutive defeats in the championship against Bravo at home 2-3, and Maribor, at home once again 1-2. Even on the move, it is rather complex for Celje who has won only one of his last five games all competitions for a balance sheet of 2 defeats in the league phase of this C4 against Bétis 2-1, and on The Pafos 2-0 lawn. Last weekend, in order to regain confidence, Celje went to Mura in the championship to follow. 

Two holders in the defensive sector last week will be suspended for this poster, in this case Chebake (right side, accumulation of yellow cards), and the central Dvali (excluded). As a bonus, the offensive Donis (4 league goals this season) was forced to leave his comrades in the 1st period following an injury and should stay with the medical staff this evening. Already absent in the first leg, Karanatsios, Petrovic, and the Sarfo midfielder will probably remain in care (injured). There is a package of players not registered in this competition, in this case Antoniou (newcomer to the club), Bah, Cano (sporadic within the rotation), the Brazilians Maioli, Pereira (replacement guard), and Meer, Without forgetting the local international Sotiriou (just arrived at the club), and the prolific pizzi winger (ex-defica).

On the other hand, return from midfielder Satsias, suspended to go.      Two players lacked the go for physical reasons, in this case Ajhmajer, and the recruit Noordanus. The French Lhernault (past by Nancy), and the former Bordeaux striker Logan Delaurier-Chaubet (1 goal, 1 pass in 2 league appearances since his arrival recently) will be good for the prolific Lithuanian striker Kucys (7 league goals), author of a double last week on the outward journey and close to the hat -trick with a failed penalty.
