Our prediction for this Europa League match:
A place in the Europa League group stages will be at stake when AEK Larnaca and Brann lock horns in a highly-anticipated game at AEK Arena. The Cypriotes aim to overcome a one-goal deficit in front of home fans and we are positive that they will adopt an attack-minded approach in the return leg. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team ahead of Brann’s visit.
The Eliteserien outfit, on the other hand, are eager to defend their slim lead in Cyprus. Brann have been in a fine form in the national championship of late, but with AEK Larnaca being a real force to be reckoned with at home, we predict that the visitors will return to Norway empty-handed. Sakarias Opsahl continues to miss out for the visiting team, but Jonas Torsvik has overcome his injury. Torsvik is pushing for a start after scoring a late winner in the first leg.
