Dnipro-1 midfielder Oleksandr Pikhalyonok told what he expects from his team's return match with AEK Cypriot in the playoff round of the Europa League qualification, which will be held today in Larnaca. Recall that the first meeting of the opponents ended with the defeat of Dnipro with a score of 1:2.
“AEK has a very good, balanced and experienced team, which plays more as number two. But at home, AEK can also play as the first number, so we must be ready for this. We analyzed in detail the first game with our opponent. As for the AEK players, I can single out Altman, although in general this team has a lot of good players.
Hot weather? He should not interfere with us, after all, we ourselves are already used to this. We played many matches at the training camp in hot weather. Well, as for the premonition, the whole team has one - we all want to join the Europa League group," Pikhalenok said at the pre-match press conference held yesterday in Larnaca.
