Prediction: 2-1
FCSB
PAOK take on FCSB in what is expected to be an exciting Europa League encounter in Thessaloniki. Despite a 3-1 loss to Galatasaray, PAOK impressed with their overall performance in Istanbul and remain a real force, especially in front of home fans. The Eagles will look to build on their strong home support, and with forward Thomas Murg overcoming his injury, they have yet another attacking option back in contention.
Steaua, on the other hand, head into the game full of confidence after a comfortable 4-1 victory over RFS, but they will face a tougher test against PAOK. The Romanian side will be without South African international Siyabonga Ngezana (injury), which surely weakens their defensive options. Anyhow, the Greeks side will be determined to record their first win of the process and seeing that Razvan Lucescu can count on key players for Thursday's showdown, we predict that the visitors are going to return to Bucharest with their hands empty.
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.
