Pafos won the first leg, played significantly better than Djurgården, but due to great goalkeeping from the Swedes, Pafos won by "only" 1-0 despite creating more chances.
Immediately after the final whistle, the fans, coach, and players of Djurgården expressed their lust for revenge, and everyone pointed at one thing:
"They (Pafos) have no idea what is waiting them in Stockholm on our artificial turf. It is a new one, the ball behaves differently there. They will feel it, with our fans. 1-0 today was ok for us"
Shots fired! We can look forward to an intense second leg. Djurgården have not looked good, but they did get some taste of hope in Cyprus. There are several elements here - Djurgården have a fanatic fanbase, they are loud and aggressive, so each corner and throw in will be a momentum booster. They are also a much more comfortable team on artificial turf, while Pafos are not. This swings the second leg favorite-stamp onto Djurgården.
Pafos played on artificial turf before against Elfsborg (earlier, summer 2024) and lost there. So they have already showed that they struggle on it
Conclusion: Djurgården are made underdogs according to the odds, even at home in Stockholm on their artificial pitch. That is a rare position. In my view Djurgården are favorites here, so when we get 2.00 on draw no bet. We take it. I see this game going to overtime or even penalties. I expect Djurgården to close as narrow favorites.
