For APOEL, this game is also something of a final if they intend to finish in the top three. Giorgos Donis’ side have lost both games by a 3-0 scoreline so far and will once again be without talented attacking midfielder Georgios Efrem.
Borussia Dortmund have had a terrible start to this season’s group stage. In games against Tottenham and Real Madrid, they managed to score just two goals while conceding a staggering six. They have reached the group stage for the twelveth time and a sixth in seven years. This is their first game against a club from Cyprus.
