We said: Elfsborg 1-0 Pafos FC

Elfsborg returned from the summer break with a convincing win, and the Swedes should take confidence from the weekend's success into their continental battle on Thursday. Pafos have been promising during their friendly fixtures, but we feel that the Cypriots will fall behind ahead of the second leg later this month. Read more.
