Prediction: 2-0
Levski Sofia
PAOK will look to overcome a two-goal deficit in the tie with Levski Sofia when the two teams face each other in Thessaloniki on Thursday. The Eagles failed to impress in the first leg, but they are still seen as favourites to beat the Bulgarians at Toumba Stadium. PAOK boss Mircea Lucescu has a number of high-profile players to choose from, but the Greeks will have to prove their worth on the field.
Teenage forward Georgios Koutsias is widely expected to lead the line for the hosts, while the opposition back-line should have pacey winger Andrija Zivkovic at bay as well. Levski Sofia, on the other hand, are likely to adopt a defence-minded approach in the return leg as they head into the match with a two-goal advantage. Anyhow, home win should be considered as PAOK have turned their Tomba Stadium into a real fortress.
