AEK Larnaca to beat Dnipro-1

AEK Larnaca host Dnipro-1 in the second leg of their Europa League play-off second leg and have a one goal advantage having won the first leg 2-1. Oleksandr Svatok’s 90th minute goal will give the visitors hope that they can turn things around but they face a tough test against a AEK Larnanca side who have been in good form at home.

José Luis Oltra’s side are unbeaten in three at home winning two of those and will be full of confidence having secured the win in the first leg. The onus will be on the visiting team to provide the attacking impetus in the game and we expect the home team to pick their moments and round the tie off with another win.

Hearts vs FC Zurich – Both Teams to Score

Despite losing 2-1 away to FC Zurich in the opening leg, Hearts have an opportunity to progress into the group stages of the Europa League, provided they can overturn the deficit. Lawerence Shankland’s penalty put Robbia Neilson’s side in the driving seat in Zurich but two goals in three minutes allowed the home team to wrestle back control.

Both these sides have been in good goalscoring form, Hearts have scored six in their two Premiership home games this campaign while Zurich have registered a goal on the road in their last three home games in all competitions. Both teams to score looks a promising angle in this one with Hearts having nothing to lose and Zurich’s ability to pick teams off on the counter attack.

Shamrock Rovers v Ferencvaros TC – Over 2.5 Goals

Shamrock Rovers host Ferencraos on Thursday night with the knowledge that their Europa League dream is all but over barring a historic comeback following a 4-0 defeat in the first leg. With that being said, they did bounce back to form at the weekend with a 3-0 victory over Dundalk and there might just be a glimmer of hope if they can get an early goal.

Ferencvaros have score eight in their last two and are in scintillating form up front, with Shamrock Rovers needing to roll the dice to have any hopes of qualifying we are expecting goals in this one.
