PAOK W vs Spartak Myjava W - UEFA Europa Cup - Women

PAOK W prepare to host Spartak Myjava W at Stadio Toumbas on September 23, 2026, with both sides eager to assert their credentials and claim a result that could define their UEFA Europa Cup - Women season. The 74-year-old Hoops boss admitted that "it'll be a bit strange not having the (Celtic) fans in but I'm nervously and excitedly looking forward to it; it's a great fixture" and also spoke about the police visit.

Both PAOK W and Spartak Myjava W will be eager to build momentum when they meet in UEFA Europa Cup - Women. The hosts will be looking to find their rhythm and put a run of results together. Spartak Myjava W will travel with intent, knowing that a positive result here could kick-start their campaign. In his latest column, Paul Merson predicts the 2026/27 Premier League season at both ends of the table.

The tactical battle could prove decisive. PAOK W may lean on their home advantage to dictate the tempo, but Spartak Myjava W have shown they can be dangerous when allowed to play on their own terms. Anderson can still play proactively from deep, but he will have other technical players around him to lighten the load in possession, and zones to hit rather than always playing to feet.

The fixture is likely to be shaped by its key performers, with creative midfielders and clinical finishers on both sides capable of turning the game in an instant. Set-piece specialists and aerial threats on both sides mean dead-ball situations could carry outsized importance. United's scouts allegedly believe he has the potential to become a top-level centre-forward.

Predicting an outright winner is no easy task given how little separates the two sides on paper. Neither side holds a clear edge, and a 1-1 draw would be a fitting reflection of the balance between them. With positions in the UEFA Europa Cup - Women table to defend and momentum to chase, neither side can afford to leave anything in the tank. A more central role appears likely given the sale of Youri Tielemans to Manchester United and the anterior cruciate ligament injury suffered by Amadou Onana at the World Cup.
