Who is in better form, AEK Larnaca or Crystal Palace?

AEK Larnaca hold the better recent form rating, with a 55.7 compared to Crystal Palace’s 35.5. Despite mixed league results, the hosts have been more consistent in European matches, while Palace have struggled for consistency in the Conference League. Their lone win in the group came at home against a weaker opponent.

Will the match have over 2.5 goals?

Given the defensive nature of both sides and the 0-0 draw in the reverse fixture, under 2.5 goals is a strong possibility. Both teams have scored in only a handful of their recent matches combined, and the Conference League tends to amplify caution. Expect a tight, low-scoring game.
