Our prediction for this Europa Conference League match:
AEK Larnaca will try to overcome a three-goal deficit in the Conference League tie with Paks when the two teams lock horns in an eagerly-awaited game at AEK Arena. The Cypriotes have no other option but to go all-out-attack against Paks and we are positive that they will leave their hearts on the field. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Spanish forward Fran Sol, who scored 15 goals in the national championship last term.
The Hungarians, on the other hand, proved their worth in the first leg, but boss Gyorgy Bognar must warn his men against complacency. Substitute Barna Toth is pushing for a start after scoring as a substitute in the first leg, while Janos Hahn should miss out with injury. Anyhow, home win should be considered as over the years AEK Larnaca have turned their AEK Arena into a real fortress.
