At 1 a.m. on July 18, in the first round of the 2025-2025 Europa League qualifiers, Hegen will play against Ternavasparta at home. The following is an analysis of this game:

Recent performance

Hegen: currently ranked 8th in the Swedish Super League, with a record of 6 wins, 3 draws and 6 losses in the 15th round of the competition. However, the team has been in a hot state recently, winning three consecutive victories in various competitions, beating Elfsburg 2-0 away in the league, and defeating Ternavasparta 1-0 away in the first leg of the Europa League qualifiers. The offensive firepower was fully opened, and the defensive end has also improved, with the opponent being scored in three consecutive games.

Ternavasparta: As the third place in the Slovak Super League last season, the new season's league has not yet begun. He is in a sluggish state in friendly matches in the offseason, and has suffered a series of losses in all competitions in the last four games. After losing to Hegen 0-1 at home in the first leg, his morale has been severely damaged, and the problem of weak offense is highlighted.

Linecraft Status

Hegen: The forward core John Dembe has performed actively in recent games and scored twice in the last round of the league. Key players such as midfielders Dubbo and Simon Gustavson, who returned from injury, returned in time, enhancing the team's midfield organization and control capabilities. However, the main right-back Lundquist was injured in the first round and is likely to be absent in this round. With the old injuries, Hamar, Vasanin, Raulson and others, the strength of the defense line has been greatly reduced.

Ternavasparta: Duda, the core of the forward line, is injured, and high center forward Jankulovsky has a disconnection with the midfield. However, high center Mihal Duris has a clear height advantage and excellent heading ability, and is a key figure in set-piece tactics. The overall lineup is relatively neat.

Tactical Style

Hurgen: Usually adopts an offensive formation of 4-3-3, pursuing rapid transmission and penetration of the midfield to open up the offensive situation. Midfielders have a per-game pass success rate of up to 88%, and they can accurately dispatch the ball and create a large number of threatening offensive opportunities for the front line. The winger is extremely fast and has strong breakthrough ability. He frequently uses his personal ability to cross from the bottom, providing a chance to grab points for the midfield forward.

Ternavasparta: Focusing on the defensive counterattack tactics of 4-2-3-1. The overall retreat is made during defense, compressing the defensive space, and the midfield double midfielder actively fights to press against opponents' offensive players to limit their passes and breakthroughs. The offensive end mainly relies on counterattack and set piece tactics to score.

Historical Confrontation: The two teams had only once in the first leg of the Europa League qualifiers, and Hegen won 1-0.

Overall, Hegen has an advantage in recent state, tactical style offensive sharpness, and player status, and has a high probability of advancing to the next round with the victory and away goals in the first round. Ternavas has performed poorly recently and has lost most of the games, including the first round loss. Ternavas still has no chance of winning in the second round.

Europa League Belgrade vs. Larnaca

At 3 am on July 18, in the first leg of the UEFA Cup qualifiers, Belgrade guerrillas will face AEK Larnaca at home. The following is an analysis of this game:

Recent performance

Belgrade Guerrilla: As a traditional strong team in Serbia, the domestic league has performed well, but the European away game has poor performance, 1 win and 4 losses in the last 5 away games, and has also suffered three consecutive away losses from the away game. The defensive end problem is relatively prominent. Only 1 clean sheet in the last 10 European games, and averaging 2.1 goals per game.

AEK Larnaca: The results in the Cyprus League are stable, with a high home winning rate, 7 wins and 3 draws in the last 10 home games, but the away winning rate of the European game is only 38%, and the average of 1.6 goals conceded in the last 5 away games.

Linear situation

Belgrade guerrillas: Frontline core Milosevic and Jovic are absent due to injury, right-back Savio, main center back Pavlovic and winger Diakit are also unable to play, and the lineup is seriously incomplete.

-AEK Larnaca: The lineup is relatively neat, only midfielder Nano is absent due to injury.

Tactical Style

Belgrade Guerrilla: Commonly used 4-2-3-1 formation, focusing on midfield control and wing attack. However, the main central defender is absent, and the young central defender combinations are not experienced enough. The double midfielder Vukodic and Karabeliov need to strengthen the interception in the midfield, and the set-piece defense also needs to be vigilant against the high-altitude threat of the opponent's central defender Garcia.

AEK Larnaca: adopts a 4-3-3 formation, focusing on wing assault and set-piece tactics. Winter Angelski is in excellent form, and another winger, Chakong, has strong ability to break through and cross. The two will attack the opponent's wing, and cross to find high center Kostic or midfielder Roden who is inserted in the back.

Historical Confrontation: The two teams had three previous confrontations, with AEK Larnaca having the upper hand in 2 wins and 1 draw.

Overall, AEK Larnaca won 1-0 at home in the first round, taking the lead in advance. Although Belgrade guerrillas are at home, they have serious injuries, while AEK Larnaca's lineup is complete and tactical execution is stable. This game may be a small score to determine the outcome.
