AEK Larnaca FC vs FK Partizan Prediction 10 July 2025

AEK Larnaca, despite only finishing fourth in the Cypriot league last season, earned their European ticket via a successful National Cup run. Their summer preparations have shown some promise, including a convincing 3-1 win over Westerlo and entertaining draws with Sereno (3-3) and Anderlecht (2-2), suggesting they are building attacking momentum ahead of this crucial tie.

Partizan, on the other hand, arrive with concerns. Their pre-season form has been poor, suffering back-to-back 1-3 defeats against CSKA Moscow and Dinamo Moscow. While they hold second place domestically, they remain far adrift from the top—27 points behind the leaders—raising doubts about their consistency and competitiveness on the European stage.

The sides met a few years ago in this very competition, with AEK Larnaca eliminating Partizan back then. Judging by recent form and circumstances, little seems to have shifted in terms of balance. With AEK playing at home and looking the more cohesive side, a repeat scenario is quite plausible. Expect a match that stays relatively modest in goals, with the Cypriots favored to avoid defeat.

AEK Larnaca not to lose and under 2.5 goals in the match 1.98
