The UEFA Conference League presents an exciting lineup for Matchday Three on Thursday. Key matchups include AEK Athens versus Shamrock Rovers and AEK Larnaca against Aberdeen, both promising intriguing betting opportunities.

Thursday’s Matchday Three Predictions

AEK Athens vs. Shamrock Rovers

AEK Athens is poised to capitalize on a struggling Shamrock Rovers team. The Irish champions, despite winning the League of Ireland title, have faced difficulties in recent matches. They have lost five of their last six competitive fixtures.

In their last European outing, Shamrock Rovers suffered a heavy 4-1 defeat against Sparta Prague and fell 2-0 at home to Celje. Conversely, AEK Athens, having recently dominated Aberdeen with a decisive 6-0 victory, appears ready to secure another win. AEK’s recent performance suggests they could win comfortably, potentially with over 3.5 goals scored.

Match Time: 5:45 PM
Betting Tip: AEK Athens to win & over 3.5 goals
Odds: 11-10 with BoyleSports

AEK Larnaca vs. Aberdeen

AEK Larnaca welcomes Aberdeen as both teams navigate the group stage. Aberdeen has had a challenging campaign, sitting at the bottom of the league phase after a disappointing 3-2 loss to Shakhtar. Meanwhile, AEK Larnaca has secured impressive victories against AZ Alkmaar (4-0) and Crystal Palace (1-0).

A win for AEK Larnaca seems likely, especially if they maintain their defensive strength, suggesting the potential for a win to nil.

Match Time: 5:45 PM
Betting Tip: AEK Larnaca to win to nil
Odds: 6-5 with bet365

Shelbourne vs. Drita

The match between Shelbourne and Drita could be tightly contested. Shelbourne, playing at Tallaght, could face challenges due to venue issues. The team recently managed a scoreless draw against Hacken, and Drita also has experience in close matches, having drawn against KuPS and Omonia.

A draw seems to be a strong possibility, as both teams seek their first victory in this phase.
