Paphos will face Mjällby in the Europa League playoffs, provided it first manages to defeat Salzburg in the third qualifying round.
The Swedes lost for the second time to Slovan Bratislava (2-0) and, with an aggregate score of 4-1, were eliminated from the Champions League, and will now continue their European campaign in the second-tier club competition, where they await the winner of the “Blue” team’s matchup.
On Thursday (August 13, 8:00 p.m.), the Cypriot Cup champions will host the “Bulls” at the “Alphamega Stadium,” with the sole aim of overturning the 1-0 deficit from the first leg and securing their spot in the next round.
