Salzburg have the upper hand as they head to Cyprus for their Europa League return match against Pafos. The two meet in the third qualifying round, with Salzburg currently leading 1-0. The hosts have won three of their last four matches in Europe, earning the favor in our prediction.
Pafos’ season hasn’t had a great start, as they are already on two losses in three Europa League games. However, there is a lot of optimism from the home side to look to.
Last season they featured in the Champions League main draw and proved to be hard to beat at home. They pushed their home run in Europe to just one loss in 10 matches. That defeat, understandably, was inflicted by Bayern Munich.
Salzburg have the lead in this tie, but it is quite slender. The Austrian giants can’t afford to sit pretty here. Their form in Europe hasn’t been the best in recent months either.
They were in the Europa League main draw last season but could only manage two wins out of the eight league phase matches. The visitors were among the poorest performers on the road, posting four straight defeats away from home.
Though this season has started well for them, unbeaten in four matches, we don’t fancy them extending that against Pafos.
