Hacken vs AEK Larnaca prediction: EUROPE: Conference League – League phase betting tips on match 2025-12-10 17:45.
[p]UEFA Conference League strugglers Häcken are yet to win in the league phase, while visitors AEK Larnaca are flying high and unbeaten.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Häcken’s chances of qualifying for the Conference League knockout stages are fading fast, as they still seek their first win in the league phase this season (D2, L2) despite being ahead at the 75-minute mark in two of the last three of those games. The Wasps lacking staying power has been a recurring theme of late, having won none of their last seven competitive fixtures (D4, L3) and having finished their Swedish top-flight campaign in a disappointing tenth place last month. That dismal run of form includes a run of four winless matches at home (D3, L1), each of which saw both teams on the scoresheet.[/p]
[p]Prior to this season’s campaign, AEK Larnaca had won just two of their Conference League fixtures (D3, L3), but they have proved to be one of Europe’s surprise packages this term by going unbeaten across the first four matchdays (W2, D2). They are the only side in the Champions League, Europa League or Conference League yet to concede in the league phase, suggesting they’ve a strong chance of extending a seven-match unbeaten run in competitive away games here (W5, D2).[/p]
