APOEL takes on Petrocup in a Champions League qualifier on Tuesday night and aims for a victory that will give it the edge ahead of the second leg in Moldova.
The crunch time has arrived at APOEL. After a laborious summer preparation, the blue and yellow will show the first... official results against the Moldovan champions. David Gayego's team played four friendlies and won the first one, while in the rest of them they drew. The friendlies are for the coaches to identify mistakes and correct them. So the Spanish coach noted them and is ready to present his team improved and especially with light legs.
Against Petrocup, APOEL are favourites, but they will have to prove it on the pitch as well. The Moldovans eliminated Ordabasi in the first round, so they will have something good to do to overturn the predictions and get in the way of the Blues.
APOEL will be playing in a packed GSP and will be looking for a win to free themselves from any stress. However, the presence of Dvali, who left the friendly against AEK Athens with an injury, and Belets, who did not play, remains a question mark. As for El Arabi and Meyer, indications are that they will come off the bench.
However, APOEL are favourites for both victory and qualification, but there are too many options at BookieCo for bettors to choose from.
