LiontipsRFS - APOEL. Betting Tip and bets on the Europa League match
Command Analysis
Current form
The team began its journey in European competitions in the Champions League, where its opponents were Northern Irish Larne. The team demonstrated an excellent level, defeating the competitor twice with a total score of 7:0. Then there was a predictable defeat from a much more serious opponent, Norwegian Bode Glimt (1:7). In the semi-finals of the Europa League qualification, the club was lucky with its opponent. RFS met with Santa Coloma and demonstrated its ability to easily deal with competitors inferior in class. This time it worked out too – the Andorrans were beaten (9:0) on aggregate (2:1).
Last season, RFS had to fight for the championship from their eternal rivals Riga. At the finish, the teams were separated by just one point. The current championship is much easier. The club is confidently leading, having a four-point advantage over the same opponent with a game in hand.
Disqualifications and injuries
The RFS has one loss. Jatta is injured, and it is unclear whether he will return to the big sport at all.
Interesting trends for betting
- The team has won the second half at home in seven of its last eight matches
- RFS is unbeaten at home in 15 of its last 16 matches
Estimated lineup : Ondoa, Bolodis, Kigurs, Markhiyev, Njiki, Njie, Odisharia, Osuagwu, Prenga, Stuglis
Current form
The team had to defend the championship of the previous season in the last round against the main competitor in the person of AEK. The task was accomplished, and at the finish the teams shared not even points, but additional indicators. The new championship of Cyprus has not yet begun and will start only at the very end of the month. This creates certain difficulties for the Cypriots, who do not have the necessary game practice, because of which the opponents gain an advantage.
"Legenda" began its journey in the European Cups as part of the Champions League qualification, where it barely overcame the resistance of the Moldovan "Petrocub" (2:1). Such a modest result did not set up a positive outcome. And so it turned out. The team lost to a more serious opponent "Slovan" (0:2). Serious problems in the attack are noticeable - only two goals were scored in four matches.
Disqualifications and injuries
Petrovich received a red card and will miss the match due to disqualification.
Interesting trends for betting

- In matches involving APOEL, the referee shows an average of five yellow cards per game.

3.30Tip and bets
The favorite of the entire confrontation is quite obvious. Of course, the champion of Cyprus is a more prestigious team, which not so long ago made noise even in the Champions League. RFS can only dream of such achievements. However, determining who will be closer to success in the first home meeting for the Latvians is a much more difficult task. The Rigans are on the move and will give their all in front of their home fans. Let's take a risk and bet on the victory of the home team.
Betting Tip - RFS victory with odds of 2.65
Betting on Team Goals
There is no certainty that the match will be productive. The Rigans may not have an impressive selection of players, but they show a bright attacking style of play, rarely leaving the field without a goal. In the last four out of five matches in the European Cups, the RFS did not exchange goals with their opponents, which we expect today.
Prediction - both teams will not score with odds of 1.95
Bet on total
The hosts will certainly strive to win, create a reserve before the return game and will play extremely cautiously. RFS has great players in attack who can decide the outcome of the match. However, you shouldn't count on a goal extravaganza, as the Cypriots have finished four matches in a row with a total under.
Betting Tip - total under 2.5 goals with odds of 1.75
