Betting on Dnipro
There were many questions surrounding Dnipro ahead of the first leg of their Conference League playoff match, especially since their last official engagement had been on November 28, despite playing eight friendly matches in 2023 prior to the match. Nonetheless, the team gave a decent showing and managed to keep their chances of progressing in the series alive despite the narrow loss.
In fact, Dnipro came agonizingly close to securing a positive result in Cyprus last Thursday. They held their own against the home side and managed to stave off their opponents until the 84th minute, when the only goal of the game arrived. Despite this setback, Dnipro has reason to be optimistic heading into the second leg. They boast an unbeaten run of eight home games, a fact that bodes well for them. However, given that this game is away from Ukraine, their home run may not carry much weight. .
Possible lineup (4-4-2): Max Walef; Gabriel Gomes, Eduard Sarapiy, Oleksandr Svatok, Volodymyr Adamyuk; Volodymyr Tanchyk, Ruslan Babenko, Valentyn Rubchynskyi, Oleksiy Hutsuliak; Oleksandr Pikhalyonok, Artem Dovbyk.
Betting on AEK Larnaca
Just when things seemed dire, AEK Larnaca was able to rescue a vital 1-0 victory, thanks to Ángel García’s goal in the dying moments of the match.The result gives them a slight edge in the series as they head to Slovakia, knowing that a draw would be enough to secure their place in the next stage of the competition.
This seems like a reasonable result for the Cypriot side, who have avoided defeat in two out of three matches played in the Europa League group stage this campaign. Additionally, AEK Larnaca has won all three encounters against Dnipro, giving them added confidence ahead of the crucial second leg..
Probable lineup (4-4-2): Ioakeim Toumpas; Roberto Rosales, Hrvoje Milicevic, Nenad Tomovic, Angel Garcia; Gus Ledes, Pere Pons, Artem Gromov, Imad Faraj; Nemanja Nikolic, Rafael Lopes.
JefeBet Prediction
AEK Larnaca have shown themselves to be a solid team even away from home, something that Dnipro are well aware of, given that one of the Cypriots’ victories against them came in August 2022, in the Europa League qualifiers at the start of the season.
Playing few official matches could affect Dnipro’s rhythm, so we expect Larnaca, who have clearly outplayed them in this campaign, to avoid defeat here once again and advance to the next round.
Prediction: Asian Handicap of AEK Larnaca (DNI 0-1 AEK).
