Larnaca square off against Legia Warsaw on Thursday night as the teams contest the first leg of their Europa League third qualifying round tie.
The home side secured their place at this stage of the competition courtesy of a 3-2 aggregate victory over Celje, opponents who reached the quarter-finals of last season's Conference League.
Meanwhile, Legia Warsaw were also pushed by Banik Ostrava before coming through by a 4-3 aggregate scoreline, the Polish giants having come from behind to edge the second leg.
How do the bookies see it: Warsaw the surprise outsiders
Although Legia Warsaw are the bigger team here, they are only priced at 11/5 to come through the away leg with a victory.
Their form is counting against them with Larnaca being priced at 21/20 to establish an advantage in Cyprus on Thursday evening.
The draw at 23/10 may prove to be popular with punters ahead of what feels like a 50/50 contest.
Head to head: First-ever competitive meeting
These two teams will be meeting in a competitive fixture on the European scene for the first time.
Larnaca will be facing Polish opponents for the first time, but Legia Warsaw played a team from Cyprus as recently as 2024-25.
During the League Phase of the Conference League, Legia Warsaw recorded a 3-0 win at Omonia.
Players to watch: Former Watford man to impress?
Enzo Cabrera would have been the player to watch from a Larnaca perspective with the attacker having netted 10 times in the Cypriot top flight last season.
However, he has missed the last three games due to a muscle injury, so left-winger Yerson Chacon could take centre stage having already chipping in with one goal and one assist from four Europa League qualifying fixtures.
Meanwhile, Legia Warsaw have spent a notable fee to secure the signing of Watford forward Mileta Rajovic during the summer transfer window.
Having been given two substitute outings in the Polish top flight, a player who netted 14 times in 48 games for Watford could make an impact across this tie.
Predicted lineups: Warsaw changes in final third?
Juan Fernando may see no reason to tinker with his Larnaca XI if all of his players came through without sustaining knocks from last week.
If an alteration is made, Jimmy Suarez could feature in central midfield ahead of Marcus Rohden.
After being held to a goalless draw by Arka Gdynia at the weekend, Legia Warsaw head coach Edward Iordanescu is expected to make changes to his team, especially in the final third.
As well as Rajovic potentially lining up down the centre of the attack, Bartosz Kapustka could be restored in a creative role, potentially replacing Ryoya Morishtia.
Larnaca: Alomerovic; Ekpolo, Milicevic, Roberge, Garcia; Ledes, Pons; Ivanovic, Rohden, Chacon; Angielski
Legia Warsaw: Tobiasz; Stojanovic, Jedrzejczyk, Pankov, Kun; Morishita, Goncalves, Urbanski; Chodyna, Rajovic, Alfarela
Anything else catch the eye?
Larnaca have already recorded home victories over Partizan Belgrade and Celje during this season's qualifying rounds.
While they have only conceded four goals in as many games, Larnaca have only netted more than twice in a single match on one occasion.
Legia Warsaw commenced their competitive schedule on July 10 and already have seven matches under their belts for 2025-26.
They are yet to lose a single game, boasting a record of five wins and two draws, but they are yet to score more than twice in a match.
In their two European away games this season, they have defeated FC Aktobe by a 1-0 scoreline and drew 2-2 with Banik Ostrava.
