【Head-to-Head】
The head-to-head record shows that the teams have drawn their previous meeting 1-1. This suggests a relatively even matchup between the two sides.

【Key Factors】
The key factors that could determine the outcome of this match are Maccabi Tel Aviv's ability to capitalize on their home advantage and their superior overall form, while AEP Paphos will need to find a way to overcome their lack of recent data and competitive experience.
Maccabi Tel Aviv will look to control possession and create chances through their talented squad, which has scored 26 goals at home this season. AEP Paphos, on the other hand, will need to defend resolutely and look to hit on the counterattack.
Injuries and suspensions could also play a crucial role, as any key absences could disrupt the tactical plans of either team.

【Expert Prediction】 🟢4-1🔵
Based on the available information, I predict a 4-1 victory for the home side, Maccabi Tel Aviv.
Maccabi Tel Aviv's superior overall form, stronger home record, and their desire to avenge their previous draw against AEP Paphos suggest they have the edge in this encounter. Their attacking prowess and ability to control the match at the Maccabi Tel Aviv stadium could prove the difference.
However, AEP Paphos will be eager to cause an upset and may pose a significant threat, especially if they can frustrate Maccabi Tel Aviv early on. A narrow victory for the visitors cannot be entirely ruled out.
This match has the potential to be a closely contested affair, with both teams vying for crucial points in their pursuit of Champions League success. A 4-1 win for Maccabi Tel Aviv is my prediction, but the final result could still go either way.
