AEK Larnaca take on the visitors Midtjylland in the second leg of UEFA Champions League qualification quarterfinals. First leg result: 1-1. The match will be played on Tuesday, July 26th at AEK Arena (Larnaca).
AEK started the new season in Denmark. The "Warriors" are named after, of course, the club from Athens. But even at the level of Cyprus, the “yellow-greens” have never been a grand. True, the history is short: the project was founded only in 1994, however, due to the merger of already existing teams. During this time, they managed to win the Cup twice and the Super Cup once. But the championship was not taken yet, the maximum was 2nd place. In the 2015-2019 segment, it turned out to take silver four times. After a pause, in the last draw, the club managed to become the vice-champion of the country again. This allowed them to return to European competition. There are successes in the international arena: twice, in 2011 and 2018, the Cypriots played in the group stage of the Europa League. And now they made their debut in the Champions League. In Denmark, it turned out to achieve a good result. Although the opponent was clearly stronger in this pair.

Midtjylland has recently become a regular participant in European cups. The Wolves have been national champions three times over the past decade. True, the last time it was back in 2020, after that, the ambitious project took 2nd place twice. But in the spring, it turned out to add to the “silver” also a cup, the 2nd in history. The Danes are not bad at showing themselves in the international arena. In 2020, they played in the main round of the Champions League for the first time. There they were 4th, but they looked worthy against the background of Liverpool, Atalanta and Ajax. In the last draw, Midtjylland played in the main round of the Europa League and even got into the playoffs. True, only in the League of Conferences, and there was a defeat to the first opponent, PAOK. Now, after the home leg, only a draw has been archived. Moreover, despite the abundance of chances, the Cypriots opened the score, and it's good for the Danes that their captain, Svyatchenko, was able to at least draw up a final 1-1.
On July 19, the teams played their first head-to-head in Denmark. AEK was lucky on the road, but this is unlikely to happen again. We recommend betting on the victory of the visitors in the decisive match.
Prediction for the match: Midtjylland to win.
