AEK Larnaca

The Cypriots made some noise in European competition last season, finishing third in their UEL group with Dynamo Kyiv, Rennes, and Fenerbahce. Then they overcame Dnipro 1 in the Conference League playoff round before losing to West Ham. AEK will be looking to repeat that feat this season. In their first match against Torpedo-BelAZ, Spaniard Jose Luis Oltra's side made a serious bid for the next round of Conference League qualification.

The Cypriots beat Torpedo with confidence. The score was 3:0 at the end of the first half, but AEK conceded twice in the second half. Nevertheless, 3:2 ahead of the return leg, also at home, is a great result.

Torpedo-BelAZ

The visitors play their home European Cup matches outside Belarus. Maybe this fact embarrassed Torpedo at the beginning of the first match with AEK, which took place in Hungarian Mezőköveszky. Otherwise, explaining 0:3 after the first 45 minutes is hard. Dmitry Molosh's team improved in the second half and returned to the confrontation. 2:3 - Kirill Glushchenkov and Emmanuel Essogo scored for Torpedo.

The Belarusian championship is on a scheduled break and will resume in early August. After 14 rounds, Torpedo-BelAZ is third in the standings. The team has conceded only seven goals and lost only once.

Expert Betting Tips

AEK is a better team than Torpedo. The Cypriots confirmed this in the first match of the qualifying clash. But the difference in class still needs to be significant enough. Besides, Larnaca will be happy with a draw to advance to the next round. Also, Torpedo has conceded only seven goals in the current home championship, and the first meeting with AEK is rather an exception to the rule.
