Omonia Nicosia have one foot in the Conference League proper as they travel to Azerbaijan to face Zira in the play-off round. Going into this return leg, Omonia have a comfortable 6-0 lead. Follow on for our prediction of this match.

Zira’s continental journey, which started in the Europa League before getting here, is about to end. They were thrashed 6-0 away in Cyprus and to progress, they have to score seven unanswered goals.

They didn't do themselves any favors with a 1-0 loss at home to Shamakhi in their domestic league. Now they head into this return leg match off the back of two straight defeats.

Their home form isn’t great either; the hosts have four losses in eight games at their backyard. They haven't won any of their last three matches in Europe.

Omonia can afford to go into this game relaxed and waiting for the Friday draw, in which they expect to be part. Mariusz Stepinski and Willy Semedo scored braces in the first leg adding to Amine Khammas and Felipe Ewandro’s goals for a 6-0 win.

That victory ensured their race towards the league phase is halfway done, having started from the 2nd qualifying round. Omonia ensured their domestic season also starts on a high, with a 3-0 win against Ethnikos Achna on Sunday.

That result marked not just their fourth straight clean sheet but also their sixth consecutive win. The visitors have actually won all their matches so far this season and conceded just two goals.
