The outcome of this upcoming match will be very interesting because neither club has ever played against the other. After defeating Enosis Neon Paralimni 3-1 in the First Division, AEK Larnaca hopes to win again. Ivan Trichkovski was the only player for AEK Larnaca who scored goals (8′, 13′, 82′).
José Oltra’s AEK Larnaca has scored seven goals in their previous six games, giving them an average of 1.17 goals per game. West Ham will be hoping to reverse their previous outcome in this game, which they lost to Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier League.
In that match, West Ham had 3 shots on goal, 2 of which were successful, and 32% possession. Brighton & Hove Albion had 20 chances to score, nine of which were successful. Brighton & Hove Albion received goals from Alexis Mac Allister (18′), Joel Veltman (52′), Kaoru Mitoma (69′), and Danny Welbeck (89′).
The facts do not lie: In their last six games, West Ham has given up 11 goals, scoring goals in 5 of those games. West Ham needs to make a lot of improvements defensively. Regardless, we must wait to see if this pattern continues at this meeting.

All you need to know about our #UECL round of 16 first leg 👇
We doubt that AEK Larnaca’s drive through the West Ham goal line will be sufficient to win this game. When the referee signals the end, West Ham has a very close 1-2 advantage. We anticipate a locked game.
Prediction: Larnaca 1-2 West Ham
This will be AEK and West Ham’s first meeting, and both teams will want to get their rivalry off to a winning start. Watford has scored 13 goals and given up four in their six Conference League victories. Since falling to Fenerbahce 2-1 in the UEFA Europa League in October,
AEK has won ten of their 12 home games and drawn two of them. Since the beginning of February, Moyes’ team has only won once in their last six games, losing three times.
With Angel Garcia and Pere Pons both serving suspensions for three yellow cards, Larnaca manager Jose Luis Oltra will be forced to make two changes. Rafail Mamas may be promoted to central midfield, and Nicolas Englezou is expected to fill in at left-back.
Oltra must choose between returning to a more defensive formation or sticking with the 4-4-2 system that won the previous match against Enosis Neon Paralimniou. Aaron Cresswell, Pablo Fornals, and Gianluca Scamacca are likely to be recalled as part of Moyes’ West Ham XI rotation.
After a six-week absence, Kurt Zouma will be evaluated after playing 21 minutes as a substitute at the weekend, and Flynn Downes may bring in new legs for the midfield.
