PAOK vs Celta Vigo Prediction and Betting Tips 19 February 2026

As PAOK have been solid at home, boasting 80% clean sheets and 2.60 points per home game, we predict that they are going to record a 2-1 win over Celta Vigo in Thursday's Europa League game. The Eagles score consistently (2.20 goals per home match) while conceding very little (0.20 goals per home game), making them tough to break down. Soualiho Meite is doubtful, but PAOK’s defensive and attacking balance remains strong, with an overall win rate of 70% and expected goals of 1.48.

Celta Vigo, on the other hand, welcome Sotelo and Swedberg back from suspension, but their away form is shaky (1.17 PPG, scoring just 0.83 goals per away match). Celta’s matches are often open (67% BTTS away) and see plenty of goals (1.83 conceded per away match, average goals per game 2.50). Borja Iglesias is widely expected to lead the line for the La Liga outfit.

H2H suggests high-scoring encounters, as their only previous meeting saw Celta win with BTTS and over 3.5 goals. Given PAOK's strong home stats, we are tempted to bet on Home Win, alongside Over 1.5 and Over 2.5 goals as their previous clash saw 3+ goals.

This Europa League match will be played on Thursday 19 February 2026 at 17:45.
