Prediction: 1-1
PAOK
Buoyed by a 2-0 win over Austria Vienna, Wolfsberger will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they face PAOK in the second leg of the Europa League third qualifying round. Wolfsberger did well to hold PAOK to a goalless draw in Thessaloniki and yet another close encounter is on the cards in Austria. Nigeria midfielder Chibuike Nwaiwu remains in the recovery room, but there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The Eagles, on the other hand, saw several first-team regulars leave the club in the summer transfer window. As a result, PAOK failed to impress in the first leg. As the visitors are likely to rely on their rock-solid defence in the reverse fixture, there is a big value in betting on under 2.5 goals. Fit-again summer signing Luka Ivanusec is widely expected to start this time out.
Highlighted Player (Mbwana Samatta):
Born in Dar Es Salaam on December 23, 1992, Mbwana Samatta is a Tanzania striker who plays for Genk in the Belgian Jupiler League. Samatta began his youth career at African Lyon and he played his first game at senior level for Simba SC, the club from his homeland.
In 2011 he moved to TP Mazembe and after scoring 60 goals in 103 league games for the club, the Tanzania international signed a four-and-a-half-year deal with Genk. On August 23, 2018 Samatta scored a hat-trick against Brondby in the Europa League.
Speaking of his international debut, Samatta made his Tanzania debut in March, 2011 in a 2-1 win over Central African Republic. It has to be noted that the Genk attacker was named African Player of the Year (based in Africa) in 2015. His main position is centre-forward, but is capable of playing as a winger as well. His contract with Genk should expire on June 30, 2020.
Highlighted Team (Wolfsberger):
Welcoming their rivals at Lavanttal-Arena, Wolfsberger are an Austrian side that compete in the Bundesliga, the Austrian top flight. GAM FC footballers wear black and blue shirts and black shorts when playing on home soil, whilst white is the dominant colour of their away kit.
Wolfsberger finished the 2018/2019 Austrian Bundesliga in fourth position in the standings and, as a result, they booked their place in the Europa League group stages for the first time ever. The Lavanttal-Arena outfit were placed in Group J, alongside Borussia M’gladbach, Roma and Istanbul Basaksehir.
GAM FC did well to win the Austrian First League in the 2011/2012 season, with the team finishing the process six points clear of second-placed Altach, but they have yet to win the Austrian Bundesliga trophy. It has to be noted that SV Ried and AT SV Wolfsberg are considered the club’s fiercest rivals.
