A rather light schedule today.
It has to make it up: APOEL has to make it up to its fans for its bad performance and the consequent 2-0 away defeat from Sparta Prague for the teams’ second game in the Europa League group stage. Enosis is a tight team, evident from the fact that it has scored and conceded 1 goal on average per game (6-5 goals’ aggregate in 5 games) and will try to make life hard for APOEL.
A very poor playing field: Petrolul, which is sitting on the bottom of the barrel with 1 win, 5 draws and 6 defeats in 12 games and a 6 point deduction from the federation, is hosting Poli Timisoara which is coming from an undefeated run that has so far lasted for 4 games.
Even Paderborn: Paderborn is sitting on the 15th position of the table but it is still the favourite to beat Duisburg away from home since today’s hosts have only gotten 2 points in their 9 so far games this season.
Dijon is unstoppable: Tours is occupying a position in the lowest half of the table; it is a team that is not easily beaten but it is also a team that finds it hard to win (it has 2 wins and 2 defeats in 9 games). Dijon is unstoppable this season, it currently occupies the top of the table with 7 wins in 9 games.
A different philosophy: Trapani hasn’t lost a game so far this season (2 wins and 3 draws in 5 games) mostly due to its attacking minded game and it is hosting tonight Perugia which has a different playing philosophy in its games, aiming to keep a clean sheet before finding ways to score.
