Apollon Limassol vs Brann
📖 The Preview
Apollon head into this one in seriously good nick, winning five of their last six, and crucially they already hold that away goal from the first leg. Playing at home with a 1-0 aggregate lead means Brann have to come at them, which suits Apollon perfectly. Brann's form is patchy enough that chasing the game away from home feels like a stretch, and with both teams expected to keep things tight, Apollon's 2-0 should be enough to comfortably see them through without too much drama.
