Dilla Gorey's Two Stars Analysis
Everyone at APOEL has focused on the game against Dila Gori, where the goal is none other than victory and the first substantial step towards qualifying for the Conference League play offs. The Sa Pinto team is on paper the favourites, but seriousness and caution are needed to avoid any banana skins.
Dila Gori's main weapons are its two wing forwards. Thierry Gayle usually plays from the left, while Honore Gomis plays from the right.
Starting with Gayle, this is a 21-year-old winger originally from Barbados. He is the club's biggest asset, with transfer sirens already ringing as Levski Sofias are ready to pay close to half a million for him. This year, he has 23 appearances in all competitions, scoring 12 goals (!) and 6 assists. He has speed, finishing and knows how to serve. Good one-on-one and needs a lot of attention.
On the other hand, the Senegalese Honore Gomis is the second fiddle of the Georgians. At 27 years old, he has experience mainly in the second division of Turkey as he competed from 2018 until 2022. Before that he competed in teams of his country. This year he made 21 appearances, scoring 4 goals and providing 6 assists. A player who also stands out for his speed, being one of the most quality on Dilla Gorey's roster.
Generally Gayle and Gomis want attention with Susic and Cebak taking on their interception work. If the two extreme backs of APOEL show their good face, then this will be a big advantage for the Sa Pinto team in the effort to qualify for the next round.
