APOEL will host Dila in the second leg of their UEFA Europa Conference League third qualification round at the GSP Stadium on Thursday. The home team will hope to consolidate their lead from the first leg in order to book their place in the play-off round. APOEL claimed a crucial 2-0 away win over Dila in Tbilisi. It was their third victory in a row and also their third straight success on the road. The Cypriot team will strive to maintain their brilliant patch of form against the visitors. Τhrylos marked their Europa Conference League debut last season. APOEL had an impressive campaign that stretched to the playoff round. They are certainly aiming higher this time.
On the other hand, FC Dila was taken by surprise by the frenzied attacks of APOEL in the first leg. The Georgian side was unable to execute their game plan. The expulsion of midfielder Alef Santos in the 87th minute added to the agonising defeat. However, by that time the damage had already been done. Guarders are participating in this competition for the third time but are yet to progress beyond the third qualifying round. APOEL has a sweeping record against Dila. APOEL has won its past three matches out of five matches. Nevertheless, head coach Andriy Demchenko would need a miracle to overturn their two-goal deficit at APOEL’s fortress.
