Omonia are favourites, Paphos can be, AEK Athens is looking for a miracle!
AEK Athens, Paphos and Omonia will compete for qualification to the third qualifying round of the Conferences League. Only the Greens go with the victory of the first match as a shield. The other two are looking for an upset.
A 3-0 defeat significantly slashed AEK's chances of qualification against Paksy. The Larnaca side fell flat-footed in Hungary on one of their worst European nights. At the Arena, AEK are favourites, but to have any hope of qualification they will have to present a transformed side to perfection.
Clearly, changes to the starting line-up are expected in an attempt to add an element of surprise.
PAPHOS-ZALGIRIS VILNIUS (19:00)
Paphos will face Zalgiris Vilnius at the Alfamega and will be looking to overturn a 2-1 deficit in Lithuania.
Carcedo's team once again presented problems, which will have to be minimized in order to have a good hope of qualification.
Paphos have no fear against them, but seriousness, concentration and efficiency are elements that are required to be present in their game.
Absent are Quinta and Corea.
TORPEDO COUTAISI - OMONOIA (20:00)
Omonia traveled to Georgia to face Torpedo Kutaisi, with the 3-1 GSP record as a shield.
The Greens are better quality, better and more experienced than the Georgians and have a tight grip on the qualification ticket.
Dambrauskas' team with the formula and performance of the first match has nothing to fear. Underestimation is a foreign word for the Lithuanian coach, who kept a low profile for today's second leg.
Omonia are marginal favourites to win, but huge favourites to qualify for the next stage.
