Prediction: 1-0
AEK Larnaca
Stadion Pod Dubnom will host Thursday’s football match between Trencin and AEK Larnaca. Trencin did well to shock star-studded Dutch side Feyenoord in the previous qualifying round, which is certainly giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of the visit of AEK. The Slovaks have been impressive at home ground this season and we predict that they are going to stick to their attacking style of play. AEK Larnaca rolled over Sturm Graz to set up a meeting with Trencin and you should bear in mind that the Cypriotes are after their ninth consecutive clean sheet in all competitions. However, considering that the Slovaks rolled over Feyenoord 4-0 in front of home fans, we do not believe that AEK Larnaca defenders are going to prevent Trencin attackers from scoring in the first leg. Taking everything into account, home win should be considered in this one.
Highlighted Player (Nacho Cases):
After making 71 appearances for Sporting B between 2005 and 2011, Nacho Cases started playing for the first team on 9 January 2011, making his debut in a 1-1 draw with Racing Santander. The Spanish footballer plays as a midfielder and he was born on 22 December, 1987 in Gijon. He played probably the best match of his career against Real Madrid at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu on 2 April, 2011 as he provided an assist for Miguel de las Cuevas, who scored the winner ten minutes before the end (1-0). Nacho Cases used to play for the like of Codema and Revillagigedo during his youth career, but he played for his current club as a boy as well. Cases was with his family in Paris during terror attacks in November 2011 and the Spanish embassy helped him return to his homeland. The midfielder scored one goal in 24 league appearances for Sporting Gijon in the 2015/2016 La Liga campaign.
