Command Analysis

PAOK Thessaloniki FC

Current form
PAOK did not have the best start in the Europa League and finished in 22nd place only due to the fact that in the second half of the general stage it managed to put out a winning streak of three matches. It should be noted that the black-and–whites won two of their three victories at home, beating rather difficult rivals Ferencvaros (5:0) and Slavia Prague (2:0). In the home Super League, Razvan Lucescu's team takes fourth place after 22 rounds and does not conduct home matches in the best way, scoring only 14 of the total 40 points on its field.
Disqualifications and injuries
PAOK is experiencing serious personnel problems due to injuries. Today, Monstyrlis, Zhivkovich, Despodov, Chalov will not be able to help their team.

- In three of the last five matches, PAOK has not won in the first half.
- In eight of the last nine matches in the Europa League, PAOK has not lost on its own field.

FC FCSB

Current form
FCSB confidently held the general stage of the Europa League and won a ticket to the playoffs without serious problems. There were even chances to enter the top 8, but in the last round, Manchester United could not do anything at home (0:2). In eight rounds, the Red-blues scored 14 points, with which they took 11th place. Elias Charalambous's team suffered the only defeat on the road from the Raiders (0:4). In the Romanian championship, FCSB is fighting for the first place, after 26 rounds it takes the second position, but only in terms of additional indicators it is inferior to CFR Cluj.

The bet played in four of the five previous away matches
1.85The bet is an exact score of 1:1
FCSB has drawn in two of the last three matches.
6.50Tip and bets
In the face-to-face match of the general stage, FCSB won with a minimum score of 1:0 in Greece, with the Romanians playing in the minority for most of the second half, but they were able to hold the advantage. PAOK has been too unpredictable throughout the season, but in general, it cannot be said that it has any advantage in class, and the home field factor has not helped much lately - two defeats in the previous four matches. We believe that due to a well-organized defense, the guests can count on at least a draw today.
Our forecast is that the FSB will not lose by a factor of 2.15
Bet on the total
We do not expect our opponents to take unnecessary risks in the first match, but there will still be a second leg ahead. There is a high probability that, as in the recent face-to-face match, a bet will be placed on defense and we will not see more than one or two goals scored.
The second bet is a total of less than 2.5 goals with a coefficient of 1.82
Betting on the second half
Let's pay attention to the fact that in six of the last eight away matches of FCSB in the Europa League, no more than one goal was scored in the second half. Based on this trend, we recommend another option for betting.
Forecast – total goals in the second half is less than 1.5 with a coefficient of 1.77
