Following a hard-fought triumph over Zrinjski in the playoffs, Crystal Palace will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they face AEK Larnaca in the Conference League last 16, first leg. With the Eagles brimming with confidence following a 3-1 win over Tottenham, we predict a 1-0 home win. The Premier League outfit failed to impress in the double-header with Zrinjski, but they remain hot favourites to win Thursday’s match due to the squad quality. Their home expected goals of 1.69 is a green flag for Oliver Glasner, who has no fresh injury worries.
The Cypriotes, on the other hand, have been conceding only 1.00 goals per game of late, with an expected goal against of 1.26. Therefore, we are unlikely to see a high-scoring affair at Selhurst Park. When the two teams met in London in the league phase, AEK Larnaca defeated Crystal Palace 1-0, but we do not believe that they are capable of claiming yet another major scalp. There are no fresh injury concerns in the visiting team.
With Crystal Palace showing signs of improvement of late, Home Win is our main betting tip for this Conference League clash. Additionally, Under 3.5 and Under 2.5 goals market seem interesting due to a low-scoring H2H encounter.
This Europa Conference League match will be played on Thursday 12 March 2026 at 20:00.
