Journalist Ihor Tsyhanyk has made a prediction for the AEK Larnaca vs Dnipro-1 Conference League 1/16 finals match.
"A kind of déjà vu. We have already seen two games between these teams. Unfortunately, twice Dnipro-1 lost to AEK in the Europa League qualifiers.
Dnipro-1's current problem is the lack of game tone due to the pause in the championship. We have to prepare through friendly sparring matches. "On the contrary, AEK has a game practice. The Cypriots are currently leading the league, have not lost for a long time, and are constantly scoring. We have already seen that this is a pretty good team.
"AEK is particularly dangerous on set pieces. They score a lot of goals after corners or well-placed free kicks, so Dnipro-1 must take this into account.
As for me, these are rivals of almost the same level, the Ukrainian club can fight to go further. It's hard to predict the course of the first leg. I want to bet on a goal by Dnipro-1 and an accurate shot by Artem Dovbyk," said Tsyganik.
