Crystal Palace vs AEK Larnaca prediction
Crystal Palace have suffered just one defeat in 13 matches across all competitions so far this season and they remain one of the red-hot favourites to win the UEFA Europa Conference League. The Eagles began their league phase with a comfortable 2-0 defeat of Dynamo Kyiv in Poland a few weeks ago.
They now face an AEK Larnaca side that will be keen on continuing the impressive improvement of Cypriot clubs in UEFA competition. The visitors to Selhurst Park started their campaign with an impressive 4-0 demolition of Eredivisie outfit AZ Alkmaar in Cyprus before the October international break.
Crystal Palace can often find it difficult to break down teams that are weaker than them and, whilst they remain favourites, AEK Larnaca will believe they can be a real threat on the counter-attack.
