Everton v Apollon Limassol Betting Preview – UEFA Europa League 28th September 7.45pm

How dreadful was Everton’s performance in Italy against Atalanta on Match Day One? Abysmal? Shocking? Call it what you want, it shouldn’t ever get that bad for them again and they are comfortable favourites to win this fixture and get themselves going in the group. Apollon Limassol comes for a visit then after having played out a 1-1 home draw with french outfit Lyon, which at the end of the day, wasn’t a bad result for the Cypriots.

Everton v Apollon Limassol Betting Tips

After their truly dismal performance on Match Day One of the Europa League where they lost 3-0 at Atalanta, Everton will be looking for home comforts to get their campaign going. They welcome Apollon Limassol to Goodison Park on Thursday night and this will be their first ever match up against a Cypriot side. The Toffees are at least carrying some home form with them having won each of their last four European home fixtures and they are strong favourites to win this one. Everton to win to nil at bet365 returns a price of 20/21 and they will be feeling a little more confident after winning at home in the Premier League on the weekend. Oumar Niasse has come to their rescue as an unlikely goalscorer with three goals in his last two games. He was nearly sold to Crystal Palace on the transfer deadline and he is a 6/5 anytime goalscorer option with Wayne Rooney and Dominic Calvert-Lewin as 10/11 joint favourites.

The Toffees are in their fourth UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League group stage campaign and they have made it past the group stage in each of their three previous appearances, most recently in 2014/15. They will be facing a side who have no away form in Europe. Since taking a win at Legia Warsaw in 2013/14 they have lost their last five away games in European competition. On Match Day One they took a point at home against French outfit Lyon which probably wasn’t a bad return from them at all. Apollon are in their third Europa League campaign and they have never gotten past the group stage. Last season they finished third in their domestic league but they took a domestic Cup win over APOEL. They have been to Liverpool before as they played Liverpool in a 1992/93 UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup first round tie. It didn’t go too well for them, but they lost 6-1 at Anfield which was almost 25 years ago to the day. Under 2.5 goals at bet365 is a price of 5/4 on this one while both teams not to score returns a price of 4/6.
