BEST MARIBOR VS APOEL NICOSIA PREDICTION

Under 2.5 goals
Tipped at: 1.70 - 6th Aug 17:18
Maribor and Apoel face each other in the second leg of their tie. The first leg finished 1-1 with the away side maribor getting that crucial away goal. They would love to hold on to that away goal advantage and not concede an away goal to Apoel. So i expect them to have a slightly defensive mindset today. And even if Apoel score that away goal i do not see either side scoring 2 goals past the other. Maribor will be happy with a 0-0 scoreline and Apoel would look for something like a 0-1 or 1-1. So my money's on under 2.5 goals for this match at the odds of 1.7. Good Luck !

EARLY BIRD TOP TIP

Maribor to win
Tipped at: 1.70 - 5th Aug 19:23
Maribor gets very good form without losing any game at start of new season. This is the most important match for them. They have away goal lead from first game. At second side, there is APOEL. This team hasn't show too much in pre-season friendly matches. They must go for win in Slovenia, so there will be more space in defence for Maribor's good attacking players to get some goal. I don't expect that APOEL will give goal in early game, so when they attack with full strenght, Maribor's counter-attacks will do very good job. Cause of this reasons, my pick is that Maribor wins this match.

The visitors know they need one or more to avoid being knocked out in ninety mins. So will be very attacking from the outset. Maribors main offence is the counter attack, so with APOEL throwing men forward will leave them vulnerable to Maribors counter attacking style. Also both teams have quality attacks but are lacking in defensive department. I see goals here combined with the defensive frailties of both sides and the fact that APOEL will be at it from the off to get the goal required, I see huge value in the btts market aswell, but have opted for over 2.5 as i see more value here.

Draw

Slovenian champions NK Maribor receive the visit of APOEL Nicosia from Cyprus for the 2nd leg which will determine who advances to the final stage of the playoffs for the Champions League groups. APOEL did not manage to win the 1st leg against Maribor, and the tie seemed reasonable. Maribor has a very good home record with only 2 losses in their passed 12 games, while APOEL did not perform too well in their preparation stage, and the Cypriots weren't very lucky this year after Anorthosis and Omonia Nicosia were eliminated. However, APOEL isn't a team to neglect and they impressed me in their last participations in the European competitions. I'm going to go with a draw again for the 2nd leg since I cannot see any of them winning the game in regular time and the teams are pretty much balanced. My pick: Draw at odds 3.30 with NordicBet Good luck !

Maribor snatched a 1-1 draw in Nicosia last week, but is was a really undeserving result for them, as APOEL totally dominated the match, missed a lot of chances and had some dubious referees decisions against them, including a clear penalty in the last minute that was not given. Maribor is not looking good this season. Despite leading the league with three wins in three draws, they are not playing impressive football, it`s just the poor quality of slovenian football that makes them look good. Their weaknesses were obvious so far in Europe, where they barely knocked out Malta`s Birkirkara (2-0 aggregate with huge chances missed by Birkirkara). Against APOEL, as I said, they were outplayed for the whole game but somehow managed to equalize and obtain a great result for the second leg. The slovenians have confidence ant they are also rested after not playing in the weekend, so these are things that work in their favor today. But if you look on their roster, they are just so poor, no quality whatsoever. Very few Maribor players would make the squad in a team like APOEL. Maribor misses two important players, Mezga and Filipovic, so that will be a big blow for the hosts. They do have an advantage playing at home. POEL, former Champions League quarterfinalist a few years years back, is a better team overall than Maribor, there is no question about that. They have some top-class players and they also strengthened in the summer with the likes of Goncalves or Tiago Gomes (ex-Hercules and Blackpool), but they do appear to have some trouble gelling the team together in this early stage of the season. The cypriots appointed a new manager in the summer, so that is one of the reasons for the lack of cohesion. They did not start the league yet, and that is a disadvantage for them in this tie. The visitors don`t have any new selection problems. After the way the first game was played, it`s hard too look past APOEL in this decider. They have their problems, but they are so much better than Maribor and they proved it last week. The slovenians don`t seem ready for european level at the moment. With another week of preparation after the first leg, the cypriots should look even better today, counterbalancing the fact that they play away. Maribor will play it safe hoping for a 0-0 draw, maybe a 1-0 win, but they should be punished at some point by the visitors and from then on APOEL will become the big favorite to advance. Can`t see the hosts keeping a clean sheet with their shaky defense and Nicosia`s strong individuals in attack. Big difference between this two teams, and Nicosia should qualify.

Maribor to win

APoel is the stronger team here. I bet in the forst leg on them but the slovenians got a better result than i expected. The team from Cyprus is clearly the better side in my opinion and they should win this. I expect them to make a good game and qualify in the next round. I expect APOEL to score more than 1 goal as the slovenians do not hit me as a very strong teams. I take into consideration a draw with many goals so my selection for this match will be APOEL Nicosia to win and draw no bet , so we'll get our money back in case of a draw. APOEL have to score at least oen goal if they want to move on and i expect the better value and spirit to prevail in this one

Maribor -0.25 (AH)

There is no much data to work with when it comes to APOEL. Cyprian football is in crisis nowadays. Cypriots didn't do well in friendlies, basically they just cannot score. Surprisingly, they played well in the first game at home and could score a second goal. Hence, what bothers me the most is whether APOEL is actually quitting it's deformation. Maybe all the bad results were just a part of preparation. And being more experienced team, can make a surprise in Slovenia. Still I believe that Maribor has small advantage today, but I want at least to cover it by a draw. Slovenians are unstoppable so far and I believe deserve a reward. I will bet small stake. Probably the hardest game tonight.

"Today I will try other assessment methods for soccer matches results. I’ll try to analysis the odds movement, I still don’t know how it works, but I believe odds movement can say something about the soccer matches, I take into account two factors to make the odds change. The first one is the information that bookmakers have been updated comparing to the information when they open the odds, normally these information like team tactics/strategy, injury, “arrangement”… for the match. The second one is the money that punters bet for the specific bet market. I hope I can figure out something cool from these 2 factors. When I know it you know it. Goodluck!"
