APOEL Nicosia welcome Apollon Limassol on Saturday, Jan 9 at 6:00 PM in a 1st Division fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 2 points split them in the table.

APOEL Nicosia come into this fixture out of form (1W 2L recently). Apollon Limassol, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (1W 2D 0L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

Despite playing at home, APOEL Nicosia face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Apollon Limassol have won 4 of 10 encounters, with 5 draws. Their last encounter ended in APOEL Nicosia won 0–2. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.2 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives APOEL Nicosia a slight edge, but Apollon Limassol are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
