Mjällby host Salzburg in Europa League qualifying

Contrasting runs

Mjällby's recent form makes uncomfortable reading: three defeats and a draw alongside a single victory, that last a 4-3 win over SIR on 15 August. Before that came back-to-back losses to SLB, sandwiching a narrow defeat to ELF, and a goalless draw with LRI at the end of July. Salzburg have dropped points twice in their last five — a 1-1 draw with WOL and a 3-3 with PAF — but won the other three, most recently a 3-0 victory over WST three days ago. The Austrian side also recorded 1-0 wins against HAR and PAF earlier this month.

No previous meetings

The two clubs have no recorded history against each other, so Thursday's tie at Strandvallen will be the first time they meet in competition. Mjällby will be hoping home advantage counts for something against opponents who have not lost in recent matches, though their own record of one win in five suggests the task is steep. Kick-off is at 17:00 on Thursday 20 August.
