Prediction: 2-1
Malmo
Toumba Stadium in Thessaloniki will be the centre of attention when PAOK and Malmo square off against each other in the Champions League third qualifying round, return leg. The two sides played out a 2-2 draw at Eleda Stadion, but the Black and Whites are seen as favourites to win Tuesday’s clash. With no fresh injury worries to report, Razvan Lucescu is unlikely to make changes to the team that shared the spoils with Malmo in Sweden.
The visitors, on the other hand, head into return leg following a hard-fought 1-0 win over Halmstad in the national championship. PAOK, though, have turned their Toumba Stadium into a real fortress, which is probably the main reason why home win should be considered. The likes of Lewicki, Holmquist Vecchia, Moisander, and Tinnerholm have been struggling with injuries of late, speaking of the visiting team.
Highlighted Team (PAOK):
PAOK are regarded as one of the most famous clubs in Greece. The club’s biggest rivals are Olympiakos, but they have a great rivalry with local rivals Aris as well. The Double-headed eagle play their home games at Toumba Stadion Thessaloniki and the capacity of the venue is 28 803.
PAOK are a real force to be reckoned with at home, but they often struggle when playing on the travels. The club won their first Greek Superleague title in 1976 and nine years later their clinched their second domestic trophy, finishing the season three points clear of Panathinaikos.
Speaking of the club’s European success, the Black and Whites made it to the UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup in the 1973/1974 season, but they were outplayed by Italian giants Milan in the two-legged tie. PAOK were founded on 20 April, 1926 and they play their home games in black and white shirts and black shorts. The club’s away colours are white.
