APOEL vs Slovan Bratislava Prediction: the Visitors Can Afford Losing

Prediction for the UEFA Champions League match between APOEL vs Slovan Bratislava, which will take place on August 13th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the teams' conditions! Several betting options are available.

The Cypriots haven't started the national championship yet. They're playing only in European cups, trying to qualify for the main stage of the Champions League. APOEL had a bit of a challenge in their first encounter, but they managed to win. The team, led by Spanish coach David Gallego, beat Moldova's Petrocub 1:0 at home and managed a 1:1 draw away. APOEL didn't have much luck in their first meeting with Slovan. They lost to the Slovaks and let in two unanswered goals.

On the other hand, Slovan has already started playing in the national championship. The first two rounds ended with 4:1 away wins over Komarno and 1:0 over Podbrezova. Slovan has participated in two rounds of the Champions League before the meetings with APOEL. They defeated Macedonian Struga 4:2 at home and 2:1 away. The visitors also drew 1:1 away and beat Slovenian Celje 5:0 at home.

Slovan might even let themselves lose in Cyprus. Either way, the Bratislava side probably won't push things, playing cautiously in defense. APOEL has had a poor record recently, so there's every reason to bet on TU.

On top of that, let's take the bet "W1 by one goal or a draw" — a result that will fully satisfy the visitors.
