APOEL Nicosia vs Aris Limassol Betting Tips - APOEL to Win

APOEL Nicosia return to 1. Division business on Monday in high spirits after an impressive 1:0 win at Molde in the Conference League on Thursday. After a sensational 2:1 win against Fiorentina earlier this month, APOEL maintained their European momentum thanks to Konstantinos Laifis vital goal in Norway.

While trailing Aris by six points in the race for the Cypriot title, Manolo Jiménez´s men have a strong home record, with victories collected in five of their last seven games at Neo GSP, including each of the last three. 

APOEL also boast an excellent recent record in home matches against Aris. The Nicosia-based side claimed victories in each of their last four meetings at this venue. 

Aris make the trip to Nicosia also in good form with six wins picked up from their last seven matches. Aleksey Shpilevskiy´s side scored a comfortable 3:0 win in their most recent league match at AEL last week.

However, Aris can often prove an inconsistent side on their travels. The men from Limassol lost six of their last 12 away league matches, and considering their recent record in this fixture, another tough away day could be on the cards.

With APOEL buoyed by their recent European exploits, I expect the home side to claim a potentially vital win in the battle for supremacy in Cyprus.

A home win is my only choice for Monday´s 1. Division matchup in Nicosia.
