⭐ Editor's Prediction
The bookmakers have AEK Larnaca as favourites for the first leg, and there's good reason for that. The Cypriot league is a step above the Israeli one, and the club looked solid in last season's European campaign. If they want to reach the league phase again, they need to impose themselves at home and get the win. So the main bet is an AEK win. Predicted score: 2-1.
