AEK Larnaca enters this motivated match following a 4-1 victory against Legia in the first leg of the European League. Their goals came from Pere Pons, Karol Angielski, Yerson Chacón, and Ángel García. With a tactical setup based on 4-4-2, the team, under Idiakez’s guidance, focuses on a well-structured offensive approach, often utilising the wings to launch attacks. Karol Angielski and Yerson Chacón are key players in this attacking phase, especially with their forays down the right flank where defender Godswill Ekpolo adds depth and a constant threat. However, they will miss Valentin Roberge, Marcus Rohdén, Waldo Rubio, and Giorgos Naoum, all due to injuries.
