PAOK were very defensive in last week’s clash in Belgium, ending the match with 0.10-0.39 expected goals, 43% possession and had just one shot on target.

The squad from Thesaloniki barely avoided defeat in their most recent domestic appearance, a derby match against AEK Athens. They were down by two goals with just 30 minutes to go but got away with a 2-2 draw, Abdul Baba and Magomed Ozdoev finding the net.

The Double-Headed Eagles lost the first tie in the Conference League Round of 16 to Dinamo Zagreb 2-0 in Croatia, but bounced back at home and earned a convincing 5-1 victory.

Club Brugge had outstanding results in the Conference League group stages, ending this phase with 16 points (five wins, one draw) ahead of Bodo/Glimt, Besiktas and Lugano.

The Blue and Blacks lost the first tie in the playoffs action against Molde 2-1 in the previous round, but bounced back at home, beating the opposition 3-0 Adreas Skov Olsen scoring a brace, Michal Skoras also getting on the scoresheet.

Verdict

PAOK Salonika v Club Brugge

Club Brugge are in red-hot form right now, claiming back to back wins against Anderlecht, PAOK and Antwerp. I don’t see them losing the second tie in Greece, so a double chance is the best bet.
