AEK Arena will host Thursday’s Conference League game between AEK Larnaca and Dnipro, the two teams who faced each other in the Europa League qualifiers earlier this season.
Back then AEK Larnaca outclassed Dnipro 5-1 on aggregate, and it is no wonder the Cypriotes are seen as favourites to win the first leg.
Ivan Trickovski is widely expected to return to the starting XI after scoring as a substitute in a 1-1 draw with Chloraka, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The Ukrainians, on the other hand, have yet to kick off the second half of the season. Dnipro are leading the chase for the domestic trophy, but seeing that they are still on winter break, we are tempted to put our money on AEK Larnaca this time out.
Argentina duo Blanco – Purita remain on the sidelines with injuries for the visiting side.
This match will be played on 16/02/2023 at 21:00
