Slovan Bratislava and APOEL will look to move closer to the Champions League playoff places as they play in the third round of qualifying. The first-leg match on Wednesday at the Tehelné Pole Stadium comes with a prediction of a tight match.
The winner of this match will move on to the playoff round to play the winner of the Midtjylland vs Ferencvaros match. The loser of this match will be transferred to the Europa League play-off round and still have a chance to stay alive in Europe. Slovan started this campaign in the first qualifying round, defeating Struga 6-3 over two legs. They followed it up with a 6-1 win over Celje in the second qualifying round, extending their impressive run in the pre-season to seven matches.
Having kept clean sheets in their last two matches, the hosts will hope that they can continue with their impressive form. APOEL started in the second qualifying round of this tournament, where they defeated Petrocub 2-1 on aggregate, including a 1-1 draw away from home. In fact, APOEL’s last four matches have all ended with two or fewer goals.
The visitors are still early into their season, and that may be a cause for concern. They have played only six matches so far, including the Champions League qualifier. APOEL won two and drew four of their six matches so far, and they may have to put in a big shift to avoid defeat on this trip.

Our SK Slovan Bratislava vs Apoel Nicosia Prediction
Slovan Bratislava have shown in their two Champions League matches this season that they can hold their own in this competition. A strong performance here could help them progress further. A strong first-leg performance will give them an edge, and their recent strong defensive performances will give them an edge. APOEL’s matches have been dull in terms of goals, and that could continue here. That’s why our prediction for Slovan Bratislava vs APOEL Nicosia is for under 2.5 goals to be scored.
