Triple Cypriot representation aiming for the qualification jump!
Triple Cypriot representation in the playoffs of the European competitions, with APOEL, Omonia and Paphos aiming to lay the foundations ahead of the second leg in a week's time.
APOEL will face Riga away for the Europa League play-offs and go into the game as favourites for qualification. In today's away game, the set is split.
Riga showed a dangerous and aggressive team and the blue and yellow team will have to present themselves seriously. Three significant absences for the Cypriot team, as Petrovic and Sharfo are out of the lineup, while Dongala is dealing with an injury problem and is expected to be protected.
Omonia will host Zira in the Conferences League play-offs and go into the match against the Azeri side with momentum after an absolute win against Torpedo Kutaisi and Fejervar.
The Nicosia side have the quality and experience to overcome their opponent's obstacle and this is reflected in the odds. Omonia are favourites to both win tonight's game and qualify for the main stage of the Conferences League.
Mr. Valdas Dambrauskas is not facing any particular problem and will line up the best he has to win.
FC CFR 1907 CLUJ -PAFOS (20:30)
Paphos are in Romania for a positive result ahead of today's game against Cluj.
Carcedo's side will be looking to get their first positive result on the road after three defeats to Elfsborg, Zalgiris Vilnius and CSKA 1948.
If he succeeds, he will automatically increase his chances of qualification. However, the odds are against the Cypriot team, which aims to overturn the predictions.
The Spanish coach has no problems with absenteeism.
