When Group G of the UEFA Champions League was drawn, it was obvious that it was going to be hyper-competitive. APOEL Nicosia and FC Porto, who play each other on Wednesday night, were always going to be hard to separate from Shakhtar Donetsk and Zenit St. Petersburg.

What is slightly surprising, however, is that APOEL is the team on top after two rounds of fixtures. While the gap between the top and bottom of the group was always small, most expected APOEL to be that bottom team, while FC Porto were expected to come out on top. The home side has a chance to begin to restore that hierarchy at the Dragao on Wednesday night, where they are expected to win. However, as their previous matches against Shakhtar and Zenit show, APOEL are not to be taken for granted.
