PAOK will be aiming to seize the initiative when they welcome Anderlecht to Toumba Stadium for the first leg of their Europa League third qualifying round tie. As PAOK have turned their stadium into a real fortress, we predict a 2-1 home win. The Greek outfit impressed in the previous round, eliminating Dynamo Kyiv 5-2 on aggregate thanks to a series of dominant displays. A man to watch will be Giannis Konstantelias, who scored a brace in the 2-0 second-leg victory and looks ready to inspire PAOK once again. While the hosts have won only three of their last ten matches in all competitions, their confidence is high after that convincing European success, particularly at home where they have kept clean sheets in 40% of their recent outings.
Anderlecht, meanwhile, also advanced in style by beating Hammarby 4-2 on aggregate. The Belgian side have undergone changes during the summer, with Thorgan Hazard no longer part of the squad, while talented striker Mihajlo Cvetkovic is pushing for a starting berth after coming off the bench to score in the 3-1 victory over Hammarby. However, Anderlecht's recent form away from home is far from encouraging, with no wins in their last five away matches and an average of 2.4 goals conceded per game. Given PAOK's momentum and home advantage, the Greeks look well placed to take a narrow lead into the return leg.
PAOK are full of confidence after eliminating Dynamo Kyiv and should make home advantage count. Therefore, we are tempted to place our bets on Home Win, alongside BTTS and Over 2.5 goals (both sides have been involved in entertaining matches recently, making a high-scoring encounter a likely outcome).
This Europa League match will be played on Thursday 6 August 2026 at 18:45.
