APOEL vs Djurgardens IF prediction
APOEL were hardly in the game in the first leg in Sweden as they were outclassed in every aspect by their rivals. The 3-0 defeat was the perfect reflection of their performance on the night.
If APOEL find a way to overcome such a massive deficit, it will be nothing less than a miracle. Despite the fact that the second leg will be in Cyprus, they have incurred too large a deficit given their own capacity.
Djurgardens do not have anything to prove and will look to be professional in the second leg and secure qualification.
Djurgardens are odds-on favorites in this tie and are expected to seal the contest by a large margin as they did in Sweden.
Prediction: APOEL 0-3 Djurgardens
