Our Prediction for AEK Larnaca vs APOEL
The team from Larnaca finished second in the final standings in 2022 and 2024 but ended up in fourth place by spring. Nevertheless, they once again won the Cyprus Cup. This secured them another start in the Europa League qualifiers, where they beat Partizan, Celje, and Legia, but lost to Brann. However, they started the Conference League sensationally with a 4-0 thrashing of AZ. Then, they beat Crystal Palace away! Despite that, their domestic league campaign started poorly – they dropped points in nearly half of their matches. Against Enosis, though, they managed a confident 2-0 win.
Their Nicosia opponent finished a modest fifth in the previous season, which was not enough to qualify for European competitions. However, with a lighter schedule, they managed to start this campaign with a series of wins – losing only to Pafos, the reigning champions. The most recent round saw a 2-2 draw with Olympiakos Nicosia.
Imanol Idiakez's team averages 2.0 goals scored and 1.14 conceded per match. Their ambitious rival scores an average of 2.29 goals per game while conceding just 0.57.
