APOEL vs Dortmund Prediction & Betting tips
On Tuesday, Borussia Dortmund will be playing APOEL Nikosia in Cyprus, where they will face a direction-playing match. After two defeats in the Champions League at the start, the BVB can no longer afford to go further. Because then, not only the remaining fate in the royal class is extremely endangered, at least a second international season could start without the Borussia.
APOEL :
It was clear that APOEL Nikosia in a group with Real Madrid, Tottenham and even Borussia Dortmund will probably have hardly any chances to really break something. On the first two game days this should be true. Both in Real Madrid and home against Tottenham, APOEL Nicosia lost 3-0. APOEL had to contend with Nicosia through a total of three qualifying rounds to reach the group stage, conceding only one goal in six games. But the opponents in the group phase are just another caliber.
Nationally there is hardly any serious competition for APOEL Nikosia, but also the club has to make an effort to successfully master the mission title defense. Currently, APOEL Nikosia is only ranked third after five games, but has also played two games less than the top runners Anorthosis, the only one in the league so far. However, as APOEL Nicosia could be the top scorer with six points from the two relegation games, the only downside is five points.
Dortmund:
Football is a fast-paced business. This is what Borussia Dortmund has to learn at the moment. Before the final day, the BVB had six wins and a draw at the top of the Bundesliga and had five points ahead of the chasers from Munich and Hoffenheim. In the match against RB Leipzig Dortmund caught a dream start and went in the lead after four minutes with 1: 0. It could have been a fantastic day, in the end lost Dortmund against RB Leipzig with 2: 3. This means that there are only two more points to the Bavarians and the good mood is only there once.
For it was not only some defeat but also the first home team in the Bundesliga for about two and a half years. In addition, Dortmund lost his captain Sokratis due to a red card. Thus, the next important defensive player is missing in the Ligamentrieb. In Nicosia, Sokratis will be there, but Raphael Guerreiro, Lukasz Piszczek, Marcel Schmelzer, Erik Durm, Marco Reus and, according to the current state, Sebastian Rode and Andre Schürrle will also be missing. The trip to Cyprus will be a difficult one, after two defeats at Tottenham and home against Real Madrid in Nicosia but necessarily a victory.
