AEK Larnek vs CS Petrocub
Not only does the Champions League enter the qualifying phase but also the UEFA Europa League in the Qualifying Round, of course the matches presented are no less interesting. One of the matches in this first leg is between the Larnaca AEK which plays host to host CS Petrucub at AEK Arena – George Karapatakis. Just like most other matches, this is the history of their first meeting.
Larnaca AEK is a representative team from the country of Cyprus, they are heavy rivals APOEL Nicosia in the title race last season. However, because 8 points adrift then forced the Larnaca AEK to be satisfied to be runner-up, but at least the chance to appear in the open Europa League event. Larnaca AEK preparations for this match are fairly good, as many as 4 trial matches they did and the results were 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat.
Interestingly, one of the Larnaca AEK teams defeated was strong team Lech Poznan with a 1-3 victory, while for CS Petrocub they did not make a friendly because the Moldova league was running and also the Moldova Cup. Interesting enough the visitors came with a winning streak in the last 3 matches. Last season they were satisfied to end the season in the top 3 of the standings, but currently they are slightly down in position 4 but still competing in the top flight.
The appearance of CS Petrocub is actually far from satisfying, their statistics on domestic goals are only 16 goals and conceded 12 goals in a total of 15 matches that have been played. Last season their goal statistics were only a surplus of 10 goals, which is far in contrast to Larnaca’s AEK, which scored 51 goals and conceded 23 goals last season, although the quality of Cyprus competition was more competitive. Most likely the Larnaca AEK will win this leg 1 match.
