A spot in the Europa League playoffs will be at stake when Pafos and Salzburg lock horns in the second leg. Given the attacking potential of both sides, our prediction leans toward a 2-2 draw. Pafos trail 1-0 but will be confident at home, having won three of their last four matches there. They have scored 2.00 goals per game across their last four home outings and kept three clean sheets. Domingos Quina limped off in the first leg, with Ken Sema likely to step up.
Salzburg, meanwhile, totally deserved their first-leg victory after registering 1.39 xG. The Austrian giants have scored 2.75 goals per game in their last four away matches, although they have also conceded in all four. Diabate and Baidoo remain doubtful after picking up knocks. It has to be noted that Salzburg's overall scoring average stands at 2.00 goals per game.
Salzburg's away matches average 4.00 total goals and with Pafos being a real force to be reckoned with at home, our main prediction firmly points toward Over 1.5 goals. Additionally, Over 2.5 goals and Pafos or Draw bets are worth considering.
This Europa League match will be played on Thursday 13 August 2026 at 18:00.
