They set a trap in Paphos and APOEL - Ambiguous games in Europe

ETHNIKOS ACHNAS-PAPHOS (16:00)

After three consecutive defeats, two in the league and one against Chelsea, Paphos returned dynamically to victories, dismantling Slavia Prague 4-1 and closing their impressive journey in the Champions League in a positive way.

Ethnikos, for its part, is showing signs of reaction and improvement, but the results do not justify it, with the new defeat by Krasava keeping it stuck in the relegation zone.

Everything shows that Paphos enters as a big favorite to win.
