Omonia Nicosia have recovered from their elimination from the UEFA Champions League and are eyeing a place in the Europa League group stage. They saw off Estonian side Flora in the last round and going to the play-offs, they will be facing Belgian side Royal Antwerp. Omonia Nicosia host the first leg in Cyprus and coming from three straight wins, they have the drive to spur them further, but will need to improve on a run that has just one clean sheet in five matches. They’ve also failed to score in two of their last five matches and three of the five matches have produced under 2.5 goals while they have scored more than a goal in just two. Playing at home, Omonia Nicosia have one clean sheet in five and head to this game on back to back wins while both sides have scored in three of their last five matches.

Antwerp on the other hand, go to this game with just one win in their last five matches. They have one clean sheet in the run and failed to score in two of the five. They drew 1-1 with Sporting Charleroi in their last game and the 5-2 win over Standard Liege remains their only victory in five games. Antwerp have scored two or more goals in two of their last five matches and only two have produced over 2.5 goals in that run of five matches. The visitors started their season with two losses but have recovered and go to this clash with a win and a draw in their last two matches. It is in their away run that they will have concerns, having lost three of the last five and conceding two or more goals in four of the five.
