Apoel Nicosia will host Athletic Club in the second leg of the round of 16 clash on Thursday 23 February, hoping to overturn the 2 – 3 loss picked in Spain in the first leg a week ago. The two sides meet on the back of mixed fortunes in their recent forms. The loss inflicted by Athletic in the first leg was Apoel’s first in 16 matches. It is the only loss for Apoel in the last six, with one other match having ended in a draw. Apoel has a magnificent home record that has seen them draw just once and win five times. They have scored 19 goals in the last six home matches, conceding twice. Athletic have been inconsistent; the last six matches have yielded three wins, two losses and a draw. Their away record has little to write home about too; they have picked just two draws in the last six, the rest being losses. In the last six matches, they have scored just two and conceded ten goals. This will be their second meeting in history.
