- Venue: Selhurst Park (London)
On Thursday evening, after winning their Conference League openers, two domestic cup winners, Crystal Palace and AEK Larnaca, will face off against each other in the second round at Selhurst Park in London. Crystal Palace are aiming to extend their unbeaten home run to six against a team that had troubles on the road in the EL Qualifiers. However, it remains to be seen just how interested the English team is in this competition.
Crystal Palace team overview
Crystal Palace had an amazing last season, winning the FA Cup - their first major trophy ever. When it comes to the Premier League, they are a team that constantly secures a mid-table position, as they finished between tenth and 15th place, without a real danger of getting relegated. This year, the popular Eagles started the season well, winning the Community Shield and going on a ten-game unbeaten run. However, in the last two PL games, they won just one point vs Everton and Bournemouth, and dropped to 8th place with 13 points in eight rounds. So, after two poor results, it will be interesting whether they are willing to play their best players in the Conference League against an objectively inferior team.
In the first game vs Dynamo Kyiv, coach Oliver Glasner used most of their key players and did not want to rest them. However, due to a red card in that game, the team will be without Borna Sosa, but he is already a backup to Tyrick Mitchell, who will most likely start vs AEK Larnaca.

AEK Larnaca team overview
AEK Larnaca have been among the best teams in Cyprus in recent seasons, even coming super close to winning the title in 2022/23, losing it only due to a worse goal difference. Last year, they finished fourth, but managed to win the Cup trophy and secure the European Qualifiers. This year, the Yellow-greens had some problems at the start of the season, but after winning three out of the last four, they climbed in the standings. Right now, they are in 5th place with 13 points from seven rounds.
In Europe, they started their journey from the Europa League Qualifiers, beating Partizan, Celje, and Legia, before losing to Brann. However, when it mattered the most, in the main phase of the Conference League, they did an amazing job, winning 4:0 vs AZ Alkmaar.

Prediction
Crystal Palace went over 2.5 goals in four out of the last five games across the competitions. Their defense took a huge step back in the last two games, allowing five goals vs Bournemouth and Everton. So, it is difficult to expect a clean sheet in this moment against anyone.
AEK Larnaca are in good form, having won four out of the last five games across the competitions and scored at least two goals in all five matches. They were especially impressive in the game vs AZ Alkmaar when they won 4:0. Yes, AZ Alkmaar had a red card at the start of the game, but it is still an impressive result. Also, in Europe (Qualifiers included), AEK Larnaca went over 2.5 goals in seven out of nine games - 78%.
Considering all the above, we expect an exciting game with at least three goals.
