Pafos has the opportunity to become only the second Cypriot team to reach the eliminations of European tournaments. This would be a serious achievement considering the fact that Pafos is a debutant in Europe. However, a lot of money has been poured in and it is considered the richest Cypriot club at the moment. It is currently at the top of the league, and in the Conference League it started with a 4:1 win as a guest against Petrocub, followed by a 0:1 at home against Heidenheim.
Astana missed the chance to climb to the top in Kazakhstan over the weekend after a 0:1 loss as a guest against Tobol. This is their second consecutive loss as a guest, with the other being in the Conference League with a 0:2 against Welsh TNS. At least before that, they won their other match in the tournament with a 1:0 at home against Backa Topola.
Prediction: victory for PafosPafos is also the host, and has ambitions to make a mark in Europe. Astana seems like a beatable opponent and I think the hosts will celebrate with a victory.
