- Apollon Limmassol FC took the first punch in UEFA Conference League Qualification 2026 with a 4-0 away win over FC Dila Gori.
- Apollon have won three and lost two of their last five matches, while Dila Gori have won three and lost two of their last five.
Apollon looking to finish the job in Cyprus
Apollon Limmassol FC hit Dila Gori for four goals in Georgia one week ago and they will look to finish the tie off in front of their own fans at Alphamega Stadium on Tuesday. The hosts are the clear favourites for this game at 3/10, while Dila Gori are priced up as long shots at 87/10 and the draw can be backed at 24/5.
While Apollon are very short in the head-to-head market, the goals and the win-draw-win markets also favour the Cypriots and both markets reflect the fact that Apollon appear to have taken the tie out of the equation with their 4-0 first-leg win. In addition to the short head-to-head price, Apollon can be boosted at 18/25 in the Both Teams to Score - No market while 27/20 in the Under 2.5 goals market also has plenty of appeal.
With a 4-0 lead, Apollon have nothing to gain from an open game, although they have looked sharp in the final third in recent weeks. Hernan Losada's side have played a high-press and transition game over the last few weeks, with Brandon their main outlet through the centre of the pitch. Apollon have scored eight goals in their last five games and Brandon has three of those.
Dila Gori have looked shaky on the road
Visitors Dila Gori have had a mixed-to-poor run of form, winning three and losing two of their last five, but they have lost their last two. Akis Vavalis has set his side up to play possession football but with an advanced press and faster tempo, but the Georgians have conceded 2.00 goals per game on average on their travels. This looks likely to be a pressing-and-transition matchup, with Apollon's high line likely to test the Georgians ball security and Dila's overloads down the flanks looking to stretch the hosts' defensive line. Apollon are the favourites on the night and they should be able to control the game, but the 4-0 margin from the first-leg makes this a low-drama, one-sided affair. The main danger man for Apollon in this competition has been Alen Ozbolt with one goal in one game, while Blankson Anoff leads the line for Dila with one in two.
