AEK Larnaca vs Crystal Palace – European Quarter-Final Preview and Prediction
A goalless draw in the first leg leaves this tie finely poised at the AEK Arena. The hosts sense a chance to reach a historic quarter-final, while Crystal Palace aim to deliver under pressure. AEK Larnaca’s defence has been rock-solid in Europe this season. Manager Javi Rozada will hope key striker Riad Bajic leads the line again, despite concerns over Jorge Miramon’s fitness. Crystal Palace arrive on the back of two scoreless games. Oliver Glasner’s side have dominated possession but lack a cutting edge. Ismaïla Sarr and Adam Wharton carry creative hopes for the visitors. Expect a tight affair that could go the distance. With both defences on top form, a draw looks likely. Prediction: 1-1, with Palace advancing on penalties.
