APOEL Nicosia vs Sutjeska preview
The Cyprus side are short-priced favorites to win this match and book their place in the next round of Champions League qualifying. They won the first leg 1-0 and although they were hoping for a more convincing victory, the away goal made them take control of this match now.
Their opponents, Suteska from Montenegro, needed a penalty to beat Slovan Bratislava in the last round and would hope to cause a surprise and get at least a 1-0 win here. They tend not to be involved in matches with high scores even though with all three qualifying matches the Champions League has so far under 2.5 goals, and eight previous matches in all competitions have taken place in the same way.

The team only met once before that last week in the first leg when Apoel won 1-0.
Apoel Nicosia vs. Sutjeska: Prediction
We can say with confidence that Apoel will win this match. Not only are they a better team, but they also have an intimidating home team and Sutjeska is not on the level to be able to deal with this kind of pressure. Plus if Apoel scores the first goal that is highly expected the game will basically be outside the visitors.
After saying all this, we cannot support Apoel is a great opportunity at the price. So we have to look at different markets. We will take risks but for good chances as we expect Apoel to get a good score here and that is for them to win on the handicap.
APOEL vs Sutjeska betting tips
The home team improves their performance at the right time. They won the last two matches, after losing 3 games in a row. They scored one goal and recorded clean sheets in the two matches. At the end of the defense, they look very strong at the moment, but they have to play better in attack to win a comfortable match.
The visitors will not fly the white flag, but I think their chances of passing are thin. Before losing the last game against Cyprus, they had a series of 6 matches without defeat. The elimination of Slovan Bratislava in the previous round was impressive but they failed to do well in the match against the team from Nicosia - they were too strong for them. Overall, the host must record another victory. However, supporting under 2.5 goals has more value, so I suggest supporting that option.
