AEK Larnaca – Dnieper-1. Prediction and announcement for the Europa League match
The Dnieper-1 is heading to Cyprus and they will again try to advance to the group stage of the Europa League on Thursday 25 August. Officially the host Oleksandr Kucher’s team lost in their first match with a score of 1:2.
AEK Larnaca
In the first match of the playoff round in Košice (Slovakia), AEK Larnaca won quite unexpectedly with a score of 2:1. The key to the success of the team of Spaniard Jose Luis Oltra was the realization of chances – in other game components, AEK did not seem stronger than Dnipro-1.
Like the Ukrainian team, AEK rested between two matches at the weekend. The Cyprus Championship kicks off on August 26, a few days after the Ukrainian Premier League. Still, AEK has much more match practice than Dnipro-1 in official matches this season.

First, Oltra’s bodyguards flew in the penalty shootout of Denmark’s Midtjylland in the Champions League qualifiers, and then Serbian Partizan passed the Europa League. In one way or another, four official matches, one of which went to overtime, are a key factor that allows us to talk about the best tone of play at the start of the season.
“Dnepr-1”
The first Dnipro-1 in European cups failed – Oleksandr Kucher’s team lost to AEK 1:2 in a home match. However, in terms of gameplay, the Ukrainian club did not look any worse: the fate of the first match was determined by the poor execution of its moments and annoying mistakes in the defense. First of all, we are talking about the second goal caused by an error in the exit of the new Dnipro-1 goalkeeper Valef.
However, 1-2 home defeats are far from a disaster. Especially nowadays when the away goals rule is abolished in European competition. Therefore, Dnipro-1 should not sprinkle ash on his head, but try to understand the advantage that was noticed in the first match.
Like AEK Larnaca, Dnipro-1 also rested between two matches at the weekend. Although Oleksandr Kucher would probably have preferred to play given his lack of match training. The new UPL season started in the middle of this week, but the Dnipro-1 match against Oleksandriya in the first round was postponed to 16 November. And already on Sunday, August 28, Dnipro-1 will play against Dynamo Kiev.
One of the main intrigues of the last days of the summer transfer window is the fate of the Dnipro-1 offensive leader Artem Dovbik, who was able to move to the Italian Salernitana. However, so far there are no details in this direction, and the striker of the Ukrainian national team for the comeback match is at the full disposal of the Dnipro-1 technical team. The opportunity to play in the Europa League group stage is likely to influence Dovbik’s decision.
Prediction for confrontation
After the away win, the bookies of course consider AEK Larnaca to be the favorites for the second leg. However, we believe Dnipro-1 can make a comeback and win the second leg (ie 90 minutes regular time). Its coefficient is 3.9. There is a very high probability that this victory will be minimal and the match will go to overtime. And there, physical preparation will come to the fore.
Approximate compositions:
AEK Larnaca: Tumbas – Enlez, Gonzalez, Milicevic, Rosales – Luis Gustavo, Altman, Oher – Gyurcho, Lopes Romo, Farage.
“Dnepr-1”: Max Valef – Busanello, Svatok, Adamyuk, Tanchik – Sarapiy, Kogut – Blanco, Pikhalyonok, Nazarenko – Dovbik.

Ukrainian defender Nottingham Forest Alexander Zinchenko He shared his feelings after his team beat Utrecht (2:1) in the main round of the Europa League.
“It’s a great feeling. First of all, I’m back. Secondly, it’s an incredible feeling to win a match. Getting three points today was very important for us. As you can see, it was a difficult match. But at the end of the match, I think we got what we wanted and let’s continue like that.”
“As a defender you always want to keep a clean sheet, but unfortunately we couldn’t do that today. So it’s something we need to work on in the future.”
“This is one of those matches where whoever wins the most challenges in different areas of the field will win the match. Today we won many more goals which helped us a lot in the game. But to be honest, even the opportunities we created, including me, we should have scored and finished this match earlier,” said Zinchenko.
Nottingham Forest is in 11th place in the rankings with 11 points after 6 matches in the Europa League this season.
