RB Salzburg – Paphos Tip Europa League, Qualification, 3rd Round, First Leg on Thursday, 06/08/26 at 19:00
RB Salzburg can’t complain. After the 7-1 victory in the first round of the cup against Oberwart, the league opener against Hartberg (1-0) was also won. Accordingly, Salzburg are now going into the third round of Europa League qualifying with confidence.
In the home game against FC Paphos, the Austrians want to make things clear and pave the way to the playoffs. And in my RB Salzburg Paphos tip, I don’t assume that this plan will go wrong.

The fact is that Paphos was on the verge of being knocked out in the previous qualifying round. The first leg at Hadjuk Split (0-2) was by no means a recommendation for higher tasks. The AI considers it correspondingly likely that the Cypriots will also reach their limits in Salzburg. “Salzburg over 1.5 goals” at odds around 1.75 is the right bet for this.
You have to be a little more careful with the selection “Paphos under 0.5 goals”. The odds are excellent (about 2.50) and Paphos have not scored in three of the last five games. However, Salzburg is also good for conceding a goal against weaker opponents from time to time, as in the 7-1 win in the cup against Oberwart.
