Slovan Bratislava-APOEL Nicosia is a match valid for the first leg of the third preliminary round of the Champions League and is played Wednesday at 8:30 p.m.: lineups, prediction, TV and streaming.
Slovan Bratislava’s journey in this Champions League began about a month ago. The Slovaks even started from the first round and have already played 4 matches. Fortunately for Wladimir Weiss’ team, the opponents they faced were both affordable: first the North-Macedonians from Struga, then the Slovenians from Celje. And it is no coincidence that Slovan Bratislava’s tally so far is three wins – two of them even quite wide – and one draw.
The Cypriots of APOEL Nicosia could cause them a few more headaches, coming from the painful qualification obtained against the Moldovans of Petrocub: two drawn challenges, decided by the first leg success scored by Marquinhos (1-0). However, an important satisfaction for the club from the capital of Cyprus, which had not stepped on continental stages since 2019-20, when it went out in the round of 16 of the Europa League through Basel. The Yellowoblù, coached by Spaniard David Gallego – who last May graduated champions of the Cypriot top league for the 29th time – are dreaming of qualifying for the fifth time in their history to the final stage of Europe’s most important competition, in the memory of the historic ride that took them all the way to the quarterfinals in 2012. If in Cyprus the championship has not yet started, in Slovakia, on the other hand, two days are already over, with Weiss’ men on full points after wins with Komarno and Podbrezova.
