AEK Larnaca and FC Midtjylland will go head-to-head in the second leg of their UEFA Champions League qualifier at the AEK Arena on Tuesday.
While the hosts head into the game unbeaten in seven outings, the Danish outfit will look to snap their four-game winless run.
Larnaca were denied a dream start to their Champions League qualifying campaign, as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Midtjylland in last week’s first leg.
That followed a decent pre-season campaign, where they picked up a win and two draws from three friendlies. Larnaca are now unbeaten in seven games across competitions, dating back to May’s 3-1 loss to Ethnikos Achnas in the Cyprus Cup semifinals.
Meanwhile, Midtjylland were denied their first win of the 2022-23 Superliga campaign, as they suffered a 3-1 loss to Silkeborg IF.
Before that, Bo Henriksen’s men were held to a 1-1 draw by Randers FC in their league curtain raiser on July 15. Midtjylland have now failed to taste victory in their last four games across competitions, picking up two draws and as many losses.
