F91 Dudelange vs APOEL Nicosia Predictions

This match should be key in determining who advances from Group A into the round of 32. The two sides are only separated by a point and with Qarabag also in contention to qualify from the group, whoever comes out on top in this game could have one foot in the knockout stages. The reverse fixture saw Dudelange come out 4-3 winners but they weren’t able to build on that result. 

They’ve lost all three of their games following that win, conceding 12 goals but Sevilla dominating the group has meant that Dudelange have been able to stay in touch with second place in the group. With the Spanish side already securing their place in the round of 32, there is only one space left to come through the group and this match is hugely important to both sides. 

APOEL have fared slightly better, picking up a point away at Qarabag before winning the return fixture in matchweek four. The victory gives APOEL the most slender of advantages with the Cypriots locked on the same points, goals scored and goals conceded as Qarabag, adding even more importance to the points picked up over the final two game weeks. 

We can see this being quite a tight affair with neither side really being able to dominate but both creating chances as they try and gain the advantage going into matchweek six. Both teams to score looks like a good bet and we’d expect an open game without a huge amount of goals. 4/7 seems a fair price though and we’re confident that both teams will find the net during the game. 

Despite it being quite an open game there isn’t likely to be a lot of goals with both sides lacking a little bit of quality and we’re predicting a 1-1 result which doesn’t really suit either side but sees them both go into the final match week with a really good chance of qualifying for the knockout rounds.
