How to watch Salzburg vs Mjallby - UEFA Europa League Play-off match

First-leg context and recent form

Mjällby appeared set to earn a goalless draw at Strandvallen before Pettersson inadvertently turned a low cross into his own net in the 91st minute. The result extended Salzburg’s unbeaten start to the campaign: Danny Röhl’s side have won five and drawn two of their opening seven competitive fixtures.

Salzburg have also won all three of their previous competitive home matches against Swedish opposition, scoring eight goals and conceding only once. They entered the play-off after eliminating Pafos 4-3 on aggregate.

Mjällby are enduring a more difficult domestic campaign following their historic 2025 Allsvenskan title. Karl Marius Aksum’s side sit in the lower half of the Swedish standings and have won only one of their last seven matches. They are also winless in Europe away from home this season.

Team news

Red Bull Salzburg

Salzburg have a lengthy injury list. Gaoussou Diakité and Soumaïla Diabaté remain unavailable with hamstring injuries, while Frans Krätzig is sidelined after sustaining a thigh problem against WSG Tirol.

Defender Anrie Chase is also out with a thigh injury, and Stefan Lainer remains doubtful despite recently returning to light training following a heel problem. Leandro Morgalla has been dealing with knee trouble and is another uncertainty.

Johannes Moser and Justin Omoregie are expected to remain sidelined with adductor and shoulder injuries respectively, while forward Enrique Aguilar underwent surgery on a broken forearm and is unlikely to return before October.

Röhl is nevertheless expected to field an unchanged starting lineup. Haris Tabaković should lead the attack, with Yorbe Vertessen operating behind him and Damir Redžić and Edmund Baidoo providing width.

Mjällby

Mjällby have an almost fully available squad. Their only established absentee is Finnish winger Timo Stavitski, who remains sidelined with the back injury he suffered in May.

Aksum is expected to retain the team that produced a disciplined performance in the first leg. Pettersson should remain in the three-man defence despite his own goal, while Jacob Bergström—Mjällby’s leading league scorer with seven goals in 16 appearances—is likely to spearhead the attack.
