Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 0-1
Granada
Granada will be aiming to cement top position in Group E when they take on PAOK at Toumba Stadium on Thursday evening. Los Granadinos failed to impress in a 1-0 loss to PSV, but they are surely capable of beating PAOK, who have nothing to play for in the last group game. Granada showed character in their last La Liga game, with the team coming from two goals behind to share the spoils with Huesca.
Experienced attacker Roberto Soldado is widely expected to return to the starting XI, while Azeez, Diaz, Lozano, Montoro, and Vico are likely to miss the game with injury. The Greek side, on the other hand, suffered a shocking 2-1 loss to Omonia in their last group game, with the team missing out on a place in the Europa League knockout stages. The visitors want this win more than the hosts, and we predict that Diego Martinez’s men are going to pick up all three points from the match.
Highlighted Player (Omar El Kaddouri):
Omar El Kaddouri is a Moroccan footballer born in Brussels, Belgium on August 21, 1990. El Kaddouri was an Anderlecht player at the start of his senior career, but he did not see any game action for the Belgian side in the Jupiler League.
The 187-cm tall midfielder played for Brescia, Suditrol, Napoli, Torino and Empoli before signing a four-year deal with PAOK on August 24, 2017. The Morocco international won the Greek Cup with the black and whites, with the team beating AEK Athens in the title game. Omar El Kaddouri scored his first goal for the Greek side in a 3-1 victory over Panionios in April, 2018.
On the other hand, the PAOK midfielder made his Morocco debut in August, 2014 in a friendly against Burkina Faso. He opened his goal-scoring account with the Morocco national team on May 23, 2014 in a 4-0 victory over Mozambique. His main position is attacking midfielder, but he is capable of playing as a winger as well.
Highlighted Team (Granada):
Granada are an Andalusian football club that plays in Spanish La Liga. The club were founded on 14 April, 1931 and they have yet to win the Primera Division trophy. El Grana, though, booked their place in the Spanish Cup final in 1959, but Barcelona proved to be a big catch for the Andalusian outfit.
Granada host their rivals at Estadio Nuevo Los Carmenes, the stadium that was built in 1995. The capacity of the stadium is 23,934. Granada’s main rivals are fellow Andalusian team Sevilla, but Real Betis are regarded as the club’s bitter rivals as well.
The likes of Yacine Brahimi, Juan Aguero, Gustavo Benitez, Pahinho, Denis Milar, Julio Montero Castillo, Capi, Cesar and Jose Mingorance are famous players that were part of the Estadio El Sadar outfit in the past. The original colour of Granada’s kits were blue and white, but after the Spanish Civil War the club chiefs bought new ones (red and white).
