We are just a step away from the UEFA Europa League. In the play-off, we will face the reigning Swedish champions and cup winners, Mjällby AIF. We first face them this Thursday 20 August at 18:00 CEST with the first leg away from home. At the small but charming Strandvallen Stadium, nestled between the Baltic Sea coast and a campsite, we will aim to secure the best possible starting position for the second leg at home a week later.
Participation in a European league is already secured for both teams - the only question is whether it will be the UEFA Europa League or the UEFA Conference League. For our Swedish opponents, it will be their first European appearance either way, after Mjällby surprised the entire country with their **** le win in 2025 (more on that in our opposition profile).The players from the fishing village in the south of the country have lost some momentum in the new season, however. After 16 or 17 rounds played in the Allsvenskan, the team currently sits in eleventh place out of 16, with only a few points separating them from the relegation zone. However, the team showed great spirit this past weekend. Trailing 0-3 against league leaders Sirius, they ultimately rallied to a 4-3 victory!
In their European qualifying campaign, Mjällby defeated Lincoln Red Imps of Gibraltar 3-0 on aggregate in the second round of UEFA Champions League qualifying, followed by a 1-4 defeat against Slovan Bratislava (SVK) in the third round. We'll see how the Swedish champions fare against our Red Bulls on Thursday. At least we were able to boost our confidence with a 3-0 win against WSG Tirol and a hard-fought victory against Pafos FC!
