APOEL Nicosia vs FK Qarabag Predictions

Both of these teams played out goalless draws in their domestic leagues at the weekend and head into Thursday clash in good form. The pair have already met three times this season and each time has picked up a win, ad raw, and a defeat which suggests that the result of this game could prove tricky to predict.

All of the stats suggest that a double chance bet on the visitors is the best way to go this Thursday and we’ve backed the two teams to play out a 1-1 draw.

Qarabag have only lost one of their three matches against Thursday’s hosts and won their only previous trip to APOEL 2-1 in August, so you can see why we’ve backed the visitors to avoid defeat this week.

The form of the two clubs heading into Thursday’s match suggests that a draw is the most likely result, as APOEL have only lost one of their last six matches and Qarabag are unbeaten in their last six outings. Qarabag have only lost one group game in the Europa League this season, while APOEL are yet to win in the group stage.

The performances of both teams during the last month or so only add weight to our prediction of a 1-1 draw, as both teams scored in three of Qarabag’s last six matches. APOEL have only failed to score in two of their last six matches and Qarabag have only failed to score in one of their last six outings, making our prediction for a 1-1 draw look like a realistic final scoreline for Thursday’s head to head.

We’re confident that a double chance bet on Qarabag will payout on Thursday night and we have predicted a final scoreline of 1-1. The visitors have outperformed their guests in the group stage so far this season but the pair drew 2-2 when they met last month, which is why a draw is the most likely result this Thursday. Both teams have proven hard to beat in recent weeks and don’t tend to concede many goals, and the hosts have drawn two of their last three matches while their guests have produced three stalemates in their last four games.
