The Cypriot outfit are currently trailing 2-1 in the tie after narrowly losing the first leg in Austria last week.

Senou Coulibaly had fired Omonoia in front after 15 minutes into the kick-off, but the Austrian outfit responded with a goal of their own in the 30th minute through Chibuike Nwaiwu.

The remainder of the game was tense, with chances looking hard to come by for both teams, but Dejan Zukic netted the winner for Wolfsberger with only three minutes of normal time left.

Now, a draw would be enough for them to reach the Conference League finals, as Wolfsberger are looking to end a four-and-a-half year wait to return to the European stage.

Meanwhile, Omonia's dreams of making it to consecutive Conference League group stages hang in the balance here, as the Cypriot side need to win by at least a two-goal margin to qualify for the tournament again.

Until the defeat last week, Nicosia had won all four of their qualifier games in the competition, beating Torpedo Kutaisi 5-0 on aggregate before a 9-0 aggregate victory over Araz-Naxcivan in the third qualifying round.
