The reform of the rules of the Champions League a few years ago has hit hard the small nations in UEFA in particular. While large federations like the DFB can let four solid participants without qualification at the start, there are only five clubs, which can take just this rocky way through the quali, in order to be also in the group phase of the premier class. 20 teams are currently still at the start. So it's almost the semi-finals - more precisely, the semi-final first leg.

Some well-known clubs such as FC Basel, last year's semi-finalist Ajax Amsterdam, FC Porto or Celtic Glasgow are there. A duel, which at first glance does not shine the greatest splendor, but nevertheless highly exciting, takes place in Cyprus. APOEL Nicosia meets Qarabag Agdam and a prediction is a challenge especially for these relatively unknown teams. Even more difficult is the search for a good tip in this pairing, as both teams have not yet started in league play and thus only the previous qualifying games can be used as a guide.

It is immediately noticeable that in four matches the visitors have won only one, the hosts have not conceded a single goal in two matches. It is therefore hardly surprising that APOEL Nicosia and Qarabag Agdam's odds for "under goals" are very low, suggesting a rather scoreless game. At the end of the game, the hosts are clearly favored by the Mediterranean island; between APOEL Nicosia and Qarabag Agdam a tip on the home win with odds of under 2.00 is occupied, while a guest success with a 5.00 is quoted significantly higher.

The game is kicked off on Tuesday evening at 19:00. In this racy argument is not to be expected that even in the first leg of a preliminary decision. For both clubs, however, it's about getting the best possible starting position. A little more under pressure are the hosts who want to present and have to back home with the fans.

APOEL Nicosia - Statistics & Current Form

Free soccer tips

APOEL Nicosia is the absolute Ligaprimus in the domestic league in Cyprus. Also in the last season, the team of coach Paolo Tramezzani again sovereign champions. The Italian success coach now takes aim at the big goal of the premier class with his protégés. This is not easy in preparation for the new season. In Cyprus, the first match day in the national league is due only at the end of August. Nevertheless, the competitive match in the last qualifying round against the representative from Montenegro was well done. FK Sutjeska Niksic had nothing to oppose in both matches and both the 1-0 away win, which already meant half the battle, as well as the following 3: 0 at home were a clear matter.

Free soccer tips

In the home game, the attacker Andrija Pantovic stood out, with a three-pack almost single-handedly ensured the safe entry into the semifinals. There, the first real challenge awaits the Tramezzani Elf. Especially at home, as in the past games, it is important to be very secure in the back. Against Niksic, the Cypriots in the summed up 180 minutes only allowed a full three shots to their goal. This good and consistent work against the ball is not self-evident in this early season phase. Special attention has already been paid in test matches such as the 1-0 against the top European team Shakhtar Donetsk and the wheels in the team seem to mesh quickly.

This is especially amazing, as defensively there was a lot of movement in the transfer market. Immediately four new actors were committed, including King transfer Vujadin Savic of Red Star Belgrade. The center-back finds himself in his role as a new defense boss apparently right now and brings a lot of stability in the team. If he and his colleagues perform similarly in the match between APOEL Nicosia and Qarabag Agdam on Tuesday, a tip on the hosts is definitely a good idea.

Expected formation of APOEL Nicosia:

Belec - Ioannou, Savic, Vouros, Mihajlovic - De Vincenti, Gentsoglou, Matic - Al-Ta, Ari, Jakolis, Pavlovic

Qarabag Agdam - Statistics & Current Form

Free soccer tips

Qarabag Agdam has already made the leap into the group stage of the Champions League and is dreaming of mastering this trick again. The club had to go one round before the current opponent in the qualification and met in the second round on Partizani Tirana from Albania. In the first leg, the squad of head coach Qurban Qurbanov, who has been leading the game for many years, contented himself with a goalless draw to move home with a 2-0 home win. The course of the next duel with the Dundalk FC was similar. Away there was again a draw (this time 1: 1).

At home, the Azerbaijani team did not give the Irish team a 3-0 chance. Foreign forward Jaime Romero made early for the leadership of the home side, which was then administered managed long time. When the guests had to increase the risk in the closing stages, Qarabag struck twice more and Romero managed to double a double. After 90 minutes, the shot put ratio was 25: 3, which illustrates the dominance of the home side. Defensive remained the Qurbanov-Elf for the second time in a row without conceding.

The defensive stability is now being put to the test in Nicosia for the first time. Especially at home and in the first leg, the guests will probably initially act very carefully and put their focus on the work against the ball. However, an away goal would be incredibly valuable, which is why it will be exciting to see how brave the underdog is in the course of the match.

Similar to the Cypriots, Qarabag Agdam has the problem that the newly formed team still lacks a bit of practice practice. Although the team was able to complete at least four competitive matches in this constellation, but of course all the automatisms can not work there yet. In addition, the coach has to rebuild compared to the return match against Dundalk in the headquarters. Filip Ozobic was injured in the first round, had to be substituted and will miss the first leg on Tuesday. For him will probably take over as the Irish, the Spaniard Dani Quintana the role of the game designer. The 32-year-old veteran has a lot of experience, which can not hurt in such a heated duel.

Vagner - Medvedev, Mammadov, Sadygov, Ailton - Michel, Richard, Romero, Quintana, Zoubir - Emreli

 APOEL Nicosia Vs. Qarabag Agdam Direct Comparison & Statistics Highlights

The direct comparison between APOEL Nicosia and Qarabag Agdam is useless for a forecast, as both clubs have never met in their club's history. The meeting on Tuesday evening is thus a real premiere.

APOEL Nicosia vs. Qarabag Agdam Tip & Forecast - 06.08.2019

There is a previous reason that makes a tip so complicated between APOEL Nicosia and Qarabag Agdam. Both clubs are the big dominators in their national leagues and no other club can hold their own there. Cross-border football in Azerbaijan and Cyprus is incredibly difficult. So it is almost only the previous qualifying games that can be used as the basis for an analysis. Of course, these six games are due to the good defensive performance of both teams close to a low-scoring game, however, the bookmakers have too much on it, that a few hits fall.

Free soccer tips

Especially in the initial phase, it may well be that the teams compete with much mutual respect and move forward rather cautiously. However, in particular, the hosts, who are a little more under pressure at home, eventually relax the tactical shackles a bit and invest more in the offensive. The guests from Azerbaijan, of course, want to achieve the so important away goals.

Key Facts - APOEL Nicosia Vs. Qarabag Agdam tip

  • For both teams, the national league has not yet started

  • Pavlovic is in the spotlight after his three-pack in the final round at Nicosia

  • In the previous qualifying games, the clubs were mainly defensive - which explains the odds

 Free soccer picks

The odds of two or more goals being scored at least in the second half of the game are therefore much higher than the bookmakers' 2.75 ratio suggests - the value in this tip is unmistakable. It should not be forgotten that the defensive series in the previous games were hardly required. That will certainly be different on Tuesday evening. Especially a Pantovic on the part of the hosts will start after his three-pack against Niksic full confidence and want to recommend for the upcoming tasks. Qarabag Agdam are also in six matches in four games and have a lot of quality in the attack with doublesman Jaime Romero.

Since the opening phase could be more complicated in a first leg, we did not opt ​​for the classic Over2.5 Goal Tip, but rather for the special selection of two or more goals in the second round. This would also be a 1-1 draw or a 2-0 victory of the hosts with two goals after the break is sufficient. Under the given conditions, the four units are better invested with this option.

 

In the third qualifying round of the Champions League, the Cypriot APOEL and the Azerbaijani Qarabag meet each other in the Neo GSP on Tuesday evening. The stakes are high, because the winner of this diptych qualifies for the play-offs of the European champion ball.

APOEL:

With 28 national titles and 21 national cups, APOEL is by far the most successful club in Cyprus, and is also regularly in Europe. APOEL’s biggest European success came in the 2011-2012 season, when it actually managed to advance to the quarter-finals of the Champions League. Last season, however, the Cypriots had to cope without European football, after being surprised by the Kazakhstan Astana in the preliminary rounds of the Europa League.

Cypriot football is not particularly highly regarded, but partly because of its reputation as a tax haven, many foreigners are nevertheless seduced into an adventure on the island in the Mediterranean. Defender Nicolas Ioannou was the only Cypriot in the starting eleven of Italian coach Paolo Tramezzani in the previous preliminary round against Montenegrin Sutjeska (4-0 win over two games). Of this foreign legion, attacker Andrija Pavlovic is the big star, because the Serbian signed for a hat trick in the home match against Sutjeska. Other well-known names are Dutch goalkeeper Boy Waterman and former Fortuna Sittard-striker Andre Vidigal, but they didn’t play in the diptych against Sutjeska. The chance that they will kick off on Tuesday evening is therefore small.

Qarabag:

Qarabag is also no stranger now, since since 2014 the reigning champion has qualified every season for the main tournament of the Europa League or the Champions League. The provisional European highlight of The Horsemen came when two years ago, in the group stage of the Champions League, it managed to keep the big Atletico Madrid out at home and at a draw. The Azerbaijani never managed to hibernate in the European champions’ ball.

Just like APOEL, Qarabag had few problems in the previous heat. While visiting Dundalk in Ireland, coach Gurban Gurbanov’s team had to settle for a 1-1 draw, but in the return for their own audience, their opponent did not lose a lot of weight with a resounding 3-0 victory. In particular, the Spanish attacker Jaime Romero, who came over from the Spanish second-division team Cordoba this summer, had two goals on his hips. He is also the man to keep an eye on in the diptych against APOEL, although Qarabag has, among others, the Brazilian Ailton (former VfB Stuttgart) and the Belgian Moroccan Faycal Rherras (former KV Mechelen and Sint-Truiden) in the fire.
