APOEL Nicosia vs Ethnikos Achnas FC
Positive results in the Europa League helped APOEL Nicosia qualify for the knockout phase. In the middle of this week they are scheduled to return to the Greek Super League to face Ethnikos Achnas. They met at the GSP Stadium.
Last Friday (13/12) the hosts were still struggling in Europe with a narrow victory over Sevilla. This time Vujadin Savic’s single goal (61 ‘) was enough to bury the visitors, locking up Group A runners-up by five points from the FK Qarabag below.
In local competitions, APOEL Nicosia has a duty to continue to compete at the top. So far they have only played 11 times with a collection of 18 numbers and landed in the big 5 zone, five points behind Apollon Limassol on it who already played in Week 13. They are confident enough to cut the gap with an unbeaten record at GSP with 3 wins and 1 draw. They also have scored 8 goals and have never conceded after holding a 3-0 party over Pafos FC last month.
Meanwhile, the Ethnikos Achnas ranking continues to decline, now ranked 9th with a collection of 12 numbers. This condition occurs because they have never won for 6 Super League parties, 4 defeats. Finally, they were held to a 2-2 draw by Enosis Paralimni at home.
This bad trend would certainly be good news for APOEL Nicosia, who this time only had four days to restore power. In particular, they also keep a slick record against the rivals with 5 wins and 1 draw since the end of 2015, including three times in the GSP with a score of 3-0, 2-0, and 7-1. With a record as good as this, they are also predicted to win easily over Ethnikos Achnas.
