Prediction: 1-2
AEK Larnaca
A spot in the Europa League group stages will be at stake when Dnipro and AEK Larnaca face each other in a highly-anticipated two-legged tie. Dnipro have not played a competitive match since December 2021, and seeing that they take on AEK Larnaca on a neutral location (Kosice), home win should not be considered.
The Cypriotes, on the other hand, did remarkably well to shock Serbian vice-champions Partizan in the third qualifying round, which is yet another reason why we are going to put our money on the away side. A man to keep an eye on in the visiting team will be Imad Faraj, who scored a wonder goal in the 2-2 draw with Partizan a week ago. It has to be noted that the two sides have never met before in European competitions.
