Salzburg - Mjaellby

Salzburg arrive at the final hurdle of Europa League qualification following a steady run of form, including a 3-0 victory over WSG Tirol and a hard-fought aggregate win against Pafos FC. Their path to this stage has been marked by defensive resilience, evidenced by their ability to keep opponents at bay in recent European outings. Mjaellby, meanwhile, have navigated a demanding schedule that saw them transition from Champions League qualification to this Europa League tie. Despite a recent domestic win against Sirius, they are looking to overcome a deficit after being edged out in their previous continental fixtures.

The two sides converge at Red Bull Arena on 27 August 2026 for the second leg of this decisive tie. Salzburg hold a narrow advantage following their 1-0 victory in the first leg on 20 August 2026. With a place in the competition proper at stake, Mjaellby must find a way to break down the home side's resolve to overturn the aggregate scoreline.
