Two teams with contrasting wins from the first match will clash on matchday two of the 2025-26 UEFA Conference League as Crystal Palace welcome AEK Larnaca. This match on Thursday in London between the Eagles and the Yellow-greens comes with our prediction of both teams scoring goals.
Both Palace and Larnaca have three points from matchday one and are among the 16 teams to have done so. Palace have been one of the standout teams and are even marked as favourites to win this competition. Recent form suggests otherwise, though, as they come into this game searching for a first win in three weeks.
Larnaca have gone from strength to strength and can be a dangerous opponent, something that AZ Alkmaar found to their peril. They have been consistently scoring goals in all competitions and will look to silence the London crowd with some strikes. Will Palace continue their home dominance and sweep aside Larnaca?

Crystal Palace - AEK Larnaca: Form Analysis
Palace were held to a 3-3 draw at this venue last weekend, helping them bounce back from a 2-1 defeat at Everton before the international break. That result halted a three-match winning sequence for the Eagles, which also included a statement win over Liverpool at this venue.
The hosts are, indeed, a tough cookie at Selhurst Park. They are unbeaten in five competitive matches at home this season, winning two and drawing three during regular time.
Palace haven’t lost at this venue since February (W8, D5).
Larnaca are coming off a 2-0 away win in the Cyprus League, bouncing back from a 4-2 loss to Pafos before the international break. On either side of that defeat, the visitors have four wins, making them a dangerous side.
One of those results was a 4-0 statement victory over AZ Alkmaar on matchday one of this competition, although the Dutch side had a player sent off in just the second minute of that match. It could be a challenge to replicate that kind of victory as the away side, as Larnaca are winless on the road in Europe this season (D1, L3).

Crystal Palace & AEK Larnaca Squad Analysis
Palace have stuck to their 3-4-3 system under Oliver Glasner and are making a good fist of it. With no injuries in the side, the Eagles have a full squad to select from.
Jean-Philippe Mateta is likely to lead the line, and he’s in cracking form, having just netted a hat-trick at this venue against Bournemouth at the weekend! Eddie Nketiah is likely to slot in behind him on the left flank, and having scored two crucial goals already, Palace have an attack that could push Larnaca all the way through.
Ismaila Sarr has three goals and one assist in nine competitive games for Palace.
Larnaca will be without their forward Enzo Cabrera for this encounter. They have lined up in a 4-2-3-1 formation regularly, although they have dabbled with a slightly narrow 4-3-3 system too.
Djordje Ivanovic came as a substitute on matchday one, playing on the right wing of the 4-3-3 system and even grabbing a goal. He could be crucial for the visitors if they want to take something away from London.

Our Crystal Palace vs AEK Larnaca Prediction
Palace are the bookies’ favourites to lift the trophy in this tournament, but it is Larnaca who stole the limelight on matchday one. Their 4-0 win over AZ Alkmaar was a statement of intent, although Palace will provide a sterner test. The Premier League side is a dangerous outfit on any day, and their potency increases when playing at home. That said, recent games suggest they have struggled to keep clean sheets at Selhurst Park.
The visitors are likely to pounce on that, and hence our Crystal Palace vs AEK Larnaca prediction is BTTS.

Back Djordje Ivanovic to score anytime
