Apollon Limassol play host to Maccabi Haifa in the second leg of their Champions League qualifier third-round clash on Tuesday.
The hosts will be hoping to mount a miraculous comeback after suffering a humbling 4-0 defeat in last week’s reverse leg.
Apollon Limassol suffered a huge blow in their hunt for a place in the Champions League as they were beaten 4-0 by Maccabi Haifa last Wednesday.
This followed a poor pre-season campaign where they managed just one draw and lost three of their four friendlies.
Apollon Limassol have now failed to win any of their last four games, stretching back to May’s 4-1 victory over Aris Limassol.
Meanwhile, Maccabi Haifa head into Tuesday on a run of two wins and one draw from their three qualifying games so far.
The Greens, who suffered defeat in the Israeli Super Cup final on penalties against Hapoel Be'er Sheva, are now unbeaten in their last three games across all competitions.
However, they have managed just one win from their last five games away from home and will be looking to end this poor run.
Apollon Limassol vs Maccabi Haifa Head-To-Head
This will be the second-ever meeting between the sides, with their first encounter coming in last week’s reverse leg, when the Israeli side claimed a 4-0 victory.
