A win may not be enough to extend Pafos FC’s journey into the UEFA Champions League (UCL) knockouts as they finish their league phase engagements against the already-eliminated Slavia Prague on Wednesday. This match in Limassol between the 30th-placed Pafos and the 34th-placed ‘Red and Whites’ comes with our prediction of under 2.5 goals.
Pafos have six points (W1, D3, L3) and are two points outside the top 24. They need to win here and hope that a few teams above falter and give them a lift into the knockouts. Slavia have three points (D3, L4) and are already eliminated as one of the three teams yet to win a single game in the league phase of the UCL campaign.
Both teams come here on the back of indifferent results, with Pafos losing three competitive games in a row, while Slavia were beaten in two of their last three matches in all competitions. The Cypriots are still impressive at home in Europe this season and could push for a win. Are Pafos ready to do their bit in the race for play-offs?

Pafos FC - Slavia Prague: Form Analysis
Pafos lost 2-1 at home to AEK Larnaca last weekend in the Cyprus League. That was their third defeat in a row in all competitions, and they have also lost on matchdays six (2-0 away to Juventus) and seven (1-0 away to Chelsea) in this competition.
Those results shouldn’t take the sheen off their impressive start, where they avoided defeat in four of the first five UCL league phase games (W1, D3, L1). That included winning against Villarreal (1-0) and drawing 2-2 against Monaco in their last two home matches of this competition.
Pafos have six wins in their last ten home European matches, drawing three.
Slavia lost an entertaining home game 4-2 against Barcelona last time out, which was their first competitive match since mid-December. Those goals were their first in the UCL after five consecutive scoring blanks.
The visitors have three draws in the league phase, including holding Atalanta to a 0-0 away draw on matchday three. On either side of that draw, they lost 3-0 to Inter and Tottenham in their UCL trips.

Pafos FC & Slavia Prague Squad Analysis
Ivan Sunjic is suspended for Pafos, while David Luiz, David Goldar, and Joao Correia are all unavailable for different reasons for the Cypriots. There are no new injuries, though, and the hosts are likely to remain true to their favoured 3-4-2-1 formation.
That would keep the focus on Anderson Silva as the lone striker while Jaja and Mislav Orsic slot behind him in the attacking positions. Orsic has scored and assisted in the UCL proper this season, remaining their strongest attacking outlet.
Orsic has created 14 chances in the UCL this season!
There are no new injuries in the Slavia camp, but the list of regular absentees is long. The visitors are also set to line up in their favoured 3-4-2-1 formation.
That would keep Lukas Provod just behind the striker on the right side of the attacking third. He has two assists, created 12 chances, and sent 38 passes into the box in the league phase, which makes him the best creative outlet for Slavia in this UCL campaign.

Our Pafos FC vs Slavia Prague Prediction
Slavia Prague are already eliminated from the play-offs race and Pafos only have an outside chance to move up into the top 24. The Cypriots are in their debut season in the Champions League proper, but need to win and hope that a few teams above drop points. With Marseille in 19th place just three points ahead, that is still possible. Their home form in European matches is a positive sign as they won six of the last ten such games.
The low-scoring nature of these sides mean our Pafos FC vs Slavia Prague prediction is less than 2.5 goals.
