According to the Cyprus Football Association (CFA), the results of the first-leg matches allow Cypriot teams to remain hopeful of progressing to the play-offs, with the ultimate aim of qualifying for the League Phase of the European competitions.
On Thursday, Omonia Nicosia host Araz-Naxçıvan at GSP Stadium at 20:00. Their emphatic 4–0 away win gives them a clear advantage for qualification to the Conference League play-offs.
At 21:00, Aris Limassol face AEK Athens in the Greek capital. The first leg in Limassol ended 2–2, giving Aris a real chance to fight for a place in the next round of the Conference League.
Later, at 22:00, AEK Larnaca travel to Poland to play Legia Warsaw. AEK’s 4–1 home win in the first leg puts them in a strong position to progress to the Europa League play-offs. If they do not advance, they will still compete in the Conference League play-offs.
