Pafos vs Slavia Prague Prediction & Betting Tips (28 January)

By losing last week against the Chelsea Blues 1-0, Pafos shot itself in the foot for a possible qualification in the 1/16th final. With 6 points, the Cypriot club is obliged to win today, hoping for missteps from the main competitors in the first 24 places. To mention the other results in this C1, Pafos lost against Juventus 2-0 and quite logically against Bayern Munich 1-5. There were also points shared with Olympiakos 0-0, Kairat Almaty 0-0 and Monaco 2-2. The only victory came against Villarreal 1-0. Last weekend, during a championship day, Pafos hosted AEK Larnaca, a result to follow with the aim of rectifying the disappointment experienced against OL.

Nicosia 2-0.  Slavia Prague have been deserving throughout their European campaign but unfortunately have not been able to win a single game. The closest opponent was none other than Bodo/Glimt 2-2. Otherwise, quite a program for the Czechs with Inter defeated 3-0, Atalanta 0-0 in Italy, Arsenal defeated 0-3, Athletic Bilbao 0-0 at home, Tottenham defeated 3-0 and Barça last week at home 2-4. Slavia is eliminated from the Champions League but aims for the championship coronation. 

Last week, Pafos was forced to play without starting central defender Goldar and winger Correia (4 league goals). Remember the non-qualifications of Pedrão, right-back Mimovic as well as midfielders Odefalk and Brito. In the competition, no player has been able to score at least 2 goals. Orsic (1 goal, 1 assist in C1), Anderson Silva (5 goals in the league), D.Quina (5 goals in the league), Bruno (4 goals in the league) and Romanian international midfielder Dragomir (4 goals in the league) will be operational. At Slavia Prague, there are a bunch of players absent due to injury or even non-registrations to play in this Champions League.

We think of Buzek (return from loan) and Horsky who are injured. Zmrzly, Kolar, Javorcek, Sevcik (not registered), Zafeiris (departure) as well as the recruits Isife, Kanté, Sosseh, Jurasek who do not have the right to be qualified to play this last European part. With his 2 goals in the competition, Youssoupha Mbpdji (no goals in the league) is Slavia's top scorer in this C1. Author of 9 goals in the league, Chory failed to transcend himself just like Czech international Mojmir Chytil (7 goals in the league). 

• Summary: Pafos FC is going head to head with SK Slavia Praha starting on 28 Jan 2026 at 20:00 UTC at Alphamega Stadium stadium, Limassol city, Cyprus. The match is a part of the UEFA Champions League .
