Predicted Starting XI
APOEL: Waterman, Milanov, Rueda, Carlao, Lago, Vinicius, Morais, Ebecilio, Oar, Alonefitis, Camargo.
Real: Navas, Carvajal, Nacho, Varane, Marcelo, Casemiro, Isco, Kroos, Modric, Ronaldo, Benzema.
The midfield really showed up against Atletico, and Casemiro and Modric were both keys in that fixture. Against APOEL Real should be able to dominate the midfield, and with it offensive production should come where it didn’t against Atletico.Real beat APOEL 3-0 in their first matchup, and this shouldn’t be much different. They’re more than capable of dominating the midfield and converting it to many goal scoring opportunities.
