West Ham take on the visitors AEK Larnaca in the second leg of UEFA Conference League 1/8-finals. The first leg result: 2-0. The match will be played on Thursday, February 16th at London Stadium (London).
The first match of this confrontation ended quite logically, with West Ham United winning 2-0. Now, the task of the "Hammers" is already about 90% complete, and in the upcoming match, the main thing is not to make any stupid mistakes and bring the confrontation to a winning result. West Ham's situation in the country championship is very precarious right now, and they are on the brink of relegation. This is why it is assumed that the hosts will not be particularly eager to tear apart their modest opponent, and it is unlikely that they will put all their efforts into completely demolishing them. It is much more likely that another class victory in the range of 1-0, 2-0 will be the outcome, rather than a complete rout of the Cypriot team, which bookmakers are hinting at with their odds. Therefore, it may be worth considering a bet on a home win with a low total.

AEK Larnaca have pleased their fans quite well this season, having made it quite far in the tournament grid. But it would be a real overestimation if the Cypriots started dictating their terms to a representative of the EPL and had some positive result for themselves in the match a week ago. In the upcoming match, the picture is unlikely to change, and the representative of the English championship should score a couple of goals against their modest opponent on class, which is likely to be the end of it. As for AEK, their main task in this match and in the confrontation as a whole is simply to score a goal of prestige for the 180 minutes of this battle, as they have not been able to do so yet, and it is highly unlikely that they will be able to do so in the future.
We are interested in the combined bet on this match. A win for the favorite with a low total is a perfectly workable option! There is no need to expect a goal rush here, as the hosts have enough problems in the country championship, and they have no reason to waste any extra energy. Meanwhile, the Cypriots are simply unable to become leaders in terms of a goal battle. Therefore, my choice is a bet on W1+Under(4.5).
Prediction for the match: West Ham to win and under 4.5 goals.
