With 13 points, Tottenham can no longer be surpassed. Real Madrid, who has ten, may even reach the same score, but would be behind in the tiebreaker. So the first two places are guaranteed.

Tottenham’s recent performance

The current form of Apoel

When the draw put Apoel in the same group with Tottenham, Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund, most likely the great majority of the Cypriot team’s supporters imagined that their team would complete the Champions League without even scoring.

Despite the draw in number of points with Borussia Dortmund and also equal in direct confrontation, which is the first criterion of tiebreaker, the Apel presents wide disadvantage in the balance of goals. It has a deficit of 12 against a negative balance of five of the rival. Thus, he will need to score in England and hope that the Germans will be defeated by Real Madrid in Spain.
On Saturday, December 2, for the Cypriot Championship, Apoel at home defeated Ermis 2-1. It was their third straight win and their sixth success in the last seven games. With 26 points (eight wins, two draws and two losses), he is third in the tournament. They are six fewer than AEK Larnaca, leader.
