Competition: Cypriot First Division
Market: Apollon win
Odds: 4/11 @ 888sport
Looking to claim back-to-back First Division victories on Thursday evening, Apollon will welcome Doxa to the Limassol Arena.
Starting with the hosts, managing to make an immediate return to winning ways last weekend, there is no doubt that Apollon will be looking to build on that success. Eventually claiming a gritty 1-0 victory away at Paralimni, Constantinos Makrides’ side should be smelling another golden chance on Thursday evening. Losing just one of their last five First Division outings and simply looking to widen their top-half buffer here, the Limassol-based outfit have also managed to secure back-to-back domestic wins in front of their own supporters. Rightfully tipped as a runaway pick in midweek, there is no doubt that Apollon should also be boosted by their most recent meeting against Thursday’s guests. It should be noted, when Makrides’ men made the trip to Doxa back on September 3rd, they claimed a deserved 1-0 victory on the road.
As for the visitors, although Doxa might have claimed a much-needed 2-0 victory at home against Chlorka when opening December, it appears that was just a minor boost for the relegation scrappers. Making an immediate return to losing ways last weekend as they suffered a 1-0 loss at home against AEK Larnaca, Ricardo Cheu’s men are in the midst of a real nightmare spell. Recording just a single win from any of their previous nine matchups across all formats – a run that stems back to October 5th – the Whites have also shown some extended issues on the road. It should be noted, including a 3-0 drumming at the hands of Anorthosis back in October, Doxa have taken just a single point from any of their last four showdowns away from the Katokopia Stadium. Suffering that 1-0 loss when they faced off against Apollon on September 3rd, we’re expecting a similar outcome.
Bet: Apollon 4/11 to beat Doxa in Thursday’s Cypriot First Division contest @ 888sport
