Match announcement
PAOK Thessaloniki FC
Current form
Before the start of the Greek Super League season, PAOK was considered one of the contenders for the championship title, but so far they do not live up to their status. With 33 points, Gianpaolo Castorin's team is in fourth place in the table and is already four points behind the leader Olympiacos, but AEK and Panathinaikos are still ahead. The situation was more promising recently, but in the last round, the black and whites lost 1:2 to Panathinaikos in a face-to-face meeting and let their opponents get ahead. The first match against AEK in the Cup also ended in defeat, but today there is a chance to take revenge.

2.05Tip and bets
PAOK lost the first match and today they will be forced to take risks and show off in an attempt to recoup and get to the semi-finals. The black and whites are much more stable and successful at home than away, it should not be difficult for them to win back one goal. At the same time, AEK is unlikely to come just to defend the advantage, the yellow and blacks have very high-level players up front, they managed to score against PAOK in the last nine matches, the visitors will probably respond with one goal today.
We believe that there will be goals in the match. Betting Tip - both will score . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 1.89
Bet on the outcome
PAOK will definitely be maximally motivated and charged only for victory today, a minimal defeat in the first match leaves good chances for the semi-finals. AEK is in good shape and is not inferior to the opponent in terms of player selection, but in away matches the yellow-blacks make mistakes regularly, and in the last two matches at Tumba they were not successful, it makes sense to take a risk and give preference to PAOK, who have everything to take revenge.
