Slovan Bratislava (Slovakia) versus Olympiakos Piraeus (Greece) Leg #2 - Agg. (1-1)
In a battle between two of the best teams left in the competition, Slovan Bratislava takes the home stand against Olympiacos in the final leg of a tied-up matchup.
Scoring one goal each in the first leg, both these teams were playing a bit tentative in the first week.
Their attacking and midfield were mostly held back due to trying to feel out their respective opponents and making sure they cover all possible counters.
Slovan Bratislava would love to steal this second leg at home and were playing consistently at the Greece palace.
There is still hope for Olympiakos, though, and the experienced side will be looking to take things into their own hands in leg two.
Overall, both of these teams showed a unique level in leg one of their tie, a level that most other teams in the competition may not see for a bit.
This should be an all-out war and the team who can cut their mistakes and control the dangerous attacks will win it.
Betting Prediction - Slovan Bratislava to win in ET after a draw in regular time, Slovan advances leaving Olympiakos in a tough spot for the Conference League.
Partizan (Serbia) versus AEK Larnaca (Cyprus) Leg #2 - Agg. (1-2)
Partizan took a good mentality into Cyprus against Larnaca in the first leg but unfortunately fell a goal short in the process.
The Serbian side looked good for most of the game but made an error defensively that allowed a big chance to go through in the late stages.
Nonetheless, Partizan believes that they still have a great potential to reach the Europa League now sitting at home.
A goal advantage for Larnaca, there is still so much to play for in leg two and will come down to multiple goals in the finality of the tie.
Both these teams like to play with space and pace on the counterattack which means there will be always bright spots throughout the game.
Look for Partizan to feel the pressure a bit more this time around and push the tempo up beyond the normal.
Larnaca will feel comfortable with a one goal lead but will need to score themselves if they want to actually finish off this tie.
Betting Prediction - Partizan to win on the money line and qualify by any means necessary. The Serbian side will be too strong in their native land and will find themselves one more match from qualification!
