Royal Antwerp vs AC Omonia Nicosia Prediction & Betting Tips - Europa League
by Nella Wagah | in Europa League Predictions
Belgian side Antwerp’s chances of making it to the group stages of the Europa League in successive seasons hangs in the balance after their loss to Omonia Nicosia in the first leg of their play-off tie. Omonia came from down to win 4-2 and hold the advantage going into the return leg. The defeat was a pointer to the defensive weaknesses at Antwerp, being one of the three matches in the last five that they’ve conceded two or more goals. This time they will want to do better especially in the second half, having conceded three times in the second half of the first leg. While they have failed to score in just one of their last five matches, a poor home run could be their downfall. Both sides have scored in four of their last five home matches. They’ve managed just one win in the last five at home. Last season, in this competition, Antwerp reached the latter stages, before falling to Rangers.
Omonia on the other hand, take to this game a very strong run – unbeaten in four matches. They learnt from their elimination from the Champions League earlier by Dinamo Zagreb. They needed post match penalties to see off Flora in the last round of Europa League qualifiers and have managed just one clean sheet in their last five matches. Three of the five matches have produced over 2.5 goals and Omonia, whose league season hasn’t kicked off has considerable rest compared to Antwerp. In their win over Antwerp, they conceded two goals for the first time in five matches, but both teams have scored in three of their last five matches.
