AEK Larnaca vs Dnipro-1 prediction, preview, team news and more | UEFA Europa League Playoffs 2022-23
AEK Larnaca will host Dnipro-1 at the AEK Arena in the UEFA Europa League playoff second leg on Thursday.
AEK won the first leg 2-1 away ay Dnipro-1. It’s a huge advantage for the Cypriot club as they look to reach the group stage. Kitrinoprasinoi looked pretty much like the host team when they met last week. They controlled both halves and laid siege to Dnipro-1 for much of the meeting. That strategy might change on Thursday as the hosts strive to avoid counterattacks. Dnipto-1 are expected to come up with a new plan as well.
The Ukrainian club hosted AEK at the Kosicka Futbalova Arena in Kosice, Slovakia due to the conflict back home. After a bright start, they faded badly as AEK gained control of proceedings. Dnipro-1 will likely suffer a similar fate at the AEK Arena, as they also need to strengthen their weak and porous midfield.
