APOEL Nicosia visit the Vazgen Sargsyan Republican Stadium in Yerevan, Armenia on Thursday to face Noah in the UEFA Europa Conference League. The Cypriot side are looking to make it a hat-trick of wins in the competition.
Having begun their campaign with a draw and a loss, APOEL turned it around in style, beating Fiorentina and Molde in consecutive games. This upturn in form saw them rise to 13th position in the league standings, with seven points from four games.
As things stand, the Thrylos are heading into the knockout round playoffs, but can still salvage a direct place into the round of 16 if they continue their upward trajectory.
Trending
On the other hand, Noah are down in 26th place with just one win in four: a 2-0 defeat of Mlada Boleslav, courtesy of second-half goals from Matheus Aias and Virgile Pinson.
But since then, it has gone pear-shaped for the Armenian minnows, who were also humiliated 8-0 by Chelsea on matchday three at Stamford Bridge. Now, they come into the fixture on Thursday on the back of consecutive league wins over Ararat-Armenia and Gandzasar.
Noah vs APOEL Nicosia Head-To-Head and Key Numbers

Noah vs APOEL Nicosia Prediction
In contrast to their European form, Noah have been good domestically which should give them a boost here. The Armenian side are fighting to keep their progression hopes alive and could come flying out of the blocks in this match.
APOEL, though, are high on confidence after consecutive wins in the UEFA Conference League. So, we expect a tense game with some goalmouth action, but it could end with the two teams sharing the spoils.
