FORM GUIDE:
After winning five consecutive Cypriot
championships, APOEL's domestic dominance
is under threat following a mixed bag of results
that has left Thrylos [The Legend] off the pace
but with games in hand. However, they go into
tonight's match at Wembley with a chance of
clinching third place in Group H and qualifying
for the Europa League following two 1-1 draws
against Borussia Dortmund, leaving both clubs
level on points. However, BVB have a +7 better
goal difference.

Donis became the first Greek to play in the

winning the Cypriot First Division in 2014, before
