Paphos participated in the group stage of the Champions League last season, and this season it will try to at least enter the group stage of the Conference League. They come from the Europa League, where they eliminated Hajduk Split after a home victory of 4:0. However, they were eliminated by RB Salzburg, against whom they had a spectacular 3:3 draw in Cyprus. They also finished the first match in Tirana against Dinamo in a draw, but with a score of 1:1.
Dinamo has never been in the groupsThe Albanian Dinamo Tirana, also known as Dinamo City, will try for the first time to enter the group stage of a European tournament. Last summer, they also reached the playoff in the Conference League but were eliminated by Jagiellonia after a 1:1 draw at home and a 0:3 loss away. They finished 1:1 in Tirana against Paphos, hoping to avoid the scenario from last year in the second match this time. However, in the previous round, they lost 0:1 to Auda in their last European visit.
Prediction: victory for Paphos with a clean sheetPaphos is a significantly stronger team, and an experienced player like David Luiz is part of the squad, for example. Dinamo Tirana seems to have to wait again for their debut participation in the group stage. I think Paphos can win the return match in Cyprus with a clean sheet.
