UEFA Europa League
Paphos made a dignified debut in the group stage of the Champions League, where only Bayern Munich defeated them in Cyprus. Now they will once again have to rely on the home factor. They already eliminated Hajduk this summer after a 0:2 defeat away. However, they then exploded with a 4:0 win at home in the return leg and hope for a similar outcome again, especially since this time they are only one goal down.
RB Salzburg was eliminated in the group stage of the Europa League last season, having lost all their away games in the group. They are the favorites in this tie now, but they only managed to secure a 1:0 victory at the end of the match last week, and face a tough return leg in hot Cyprus.
Prediction: 1X double chancePaphos has shown good growth in the last few years, and they also seem to feel comfortable as hosts. RB Salzburg, on the other hand, has seen a noticeable decline since being dethroned in Austria, and they struggled to achieve success in the first match, so I wouldn't be surprised if Paphos at least doesn't lose the return leg.
