Predicted Starting Lineups & Team News
AEK Larnaca (5-4-1): Zlatan Alomerovic; Miramon, Godswill Ekpolo, Hrvoje Milicevic, Enric Saborit, Angel Garcia; Marcus Rohden, Ledes Gustavo, Pere Pons, Djordje Ivanovic; Riad Bajic
Attacker Yerson Chacon is unavailable due to a knee problem.
Crystal Palace (3-4-2-1): Walter Benitez; Chris Richards, Maxence Lacroix, Jaydee Canvot; Brennan Johnson, Adam Wharton, Daichi Kamada, Tyrick Mitchell; Ismaila Sarr, Evann Guessand; Jorgen-Strand Larsen
Attacker Eddie Nketiah and midfielder Cheick Doucoure are ruled out.
Goalkeeper Dean Henderson and Daniel Munoz could return to the squad for the Larnaca clash. Oliver Glasner confirmed Henderson's absence for the Leeds match and said, "Unfortunately, Dean is ill.
"The last two days he was at home, feverish, so it makes no sense to play him."
Verdict
AEK Larnaca can use their home advantage to frustrate a goal-shy Crystal Palace side. The Cypriot side held Palace at Selhurst Park comfortably in the first leg and can win or draw again on Thursday.
