THE GAME: EUROPE LEAGUE- 1/16 OF FINAL
By history, Athletic Bilbao are favorites in this round of the round of 32 that faces APOEL Nicosia. The first leg will be played in San Mamés and it will be the first time that these two teams will face each other. APOEL dominates the Cypriot league with three points clear of Limassol. In the winter market of transfers was reinforced with the Spanish striker Barral, ex of Granada and Sporting.APOEL made a great group stage, where they added twelve points, four more than Olympiacos (2nd), although he does not know what it is to win Spanish teams in the fourteen previous matches he has played. His maximum reached in Spanish territory was a draw in the Calderón in the group stage of the 2009/10 UEFA Champions League. For all this, we firmly believe that the victory will remain in the Cathedral.
