After the first four rounds played in the Europa League, PAOK scored only two points, but in the next two matches, the Greeks pleased their fans with confident victories over RFS (2:0) and Ferencvaros (5:0). These victories allowed them to break into the top 24, and at the moment the team is in 22nd place in the standings, having seven points in their piggy bank. They cannot lose in the upcoming match, because they are only one point ahead of three teams that are outside the playoffs, and Danish Midtjylland, Swedish Elfsborg and Portuguese Braga have the same number of points, but are losing on additional indicators.

At the Tumba stadium, PAOK matches are quite productive. In eight of the last nine matches, the hosts have scored at home, while Slavia have scored away in four of the last five matches. The Czech team only needs a win, so they won't park the bus at their gate, but they are also unlikely to leave the field without a goal.
Our prediction is both teams to score with odds of 1.71
Bet on the outcome
Points are important for both teams, because both clubs have a chance to get to the playoffs. It is difficult to single out one as a favorite. PAOK is playing on its home field, but for Slavia this match means everything. If they lose, they will lose all chances to get to the knockout matches. We believe that the forces are approximately equal, so we will bet on the fact that there will be no winner.
Our prediction is a draw with odds of 3.40
Bet on corners
It is highly likely that teams will pay considerable attention to defense, as it is equally important not to concede. In this regard, it can be assumed that the number of corner kicks will be relatively small.
Our prediction is total under 9.5 corners with odds of 1.70
