They are superior

APOEL's performances weren't great during Cypriot's League playoffs. However, they were effective and won when they need to. So they became the Champions in the Cypriot League for the 7th consecutive year. A few days ago, an issue occurred about the participation of APOEL's international players in Cup's final, but APOEL's Press Officer reassured that all the players will be in contention for the Italian Coach Paolo Tramezzani. In their 13 most recent h2h games vs AE Limassol, APOEL have registered 9 wins. That trend was also repeated in their last h2h game where APOEL registered a huge 4-0 win over their opponent, despite the huge rotation that Tramezzani made.

AEL Limassol made also a deep rotation in the recent League game with their current opponent. As it was expected, the Bosnian coach of Limassol, chose to rest many of his starters. Ther defeat was rather expected tand I don't know how it will affect the team's morale. Limassol's performance at playoffs wasn't satisfying at all and they finished on the 4th place. Generally, they seem that they can't face the top teams of the Cypriot League yet.

APOEL are clearly superior than the rest of Cypriot teams in the most recent years.They are definitely the favorites in this Cup Final vs AEL Limassol. 'The Legend' to win is my call.
