After last week’s 1-1 draw in Herning, it’s all to play for as these two clubs reconvene in Larnaca.

A week ago, Ádám Gyurcsó broke the deadlock for AEK, only for Erik Sviatchenko to equalise three minutes later.

Nevertheless, the Cypriot side will be delighted to leave Denmark with a draw, now looking to complete the job at home.

AEK Larnaca have previously featured in two Europa League group stages, 2011 and 2018, dreaming of adding to that this year.

FC Midtjylland meanwhile reached the Champions League group phase in 2020 and were in the Europa League 12 months ago.

Thus, Bo Henriksen’s side came into this clash as favourites, but must now win on the road to advance.

The winners will meet Benfica in the Champions League third qualifying round.

The losers drop down to the Europa League third qualifying round and will take on Partizan Belgrade.
