FCSB vs PAOK Prediction 20 February 2025
🔊 What should we expect from the return match between FCSB and PAOK? Despite the Greek team suffering a defeat (1-2) last week, and the upcoming clash taking place at the "National Stadium Bucharest," the "Double-headed Eagles of the North" still have a decent chance of advancing to the next round of the Europa League. However, to achieve this goal, the visitors will need to deliver a flawless performance. In this situation, we will try to analyze all the details to provide you with an accurate prediction.
Head-to-Head
This season, FCSB has proven to be an insurmountable opponent for PAOK. In the current Europa League campaign, the teams have met twice, and in both instances, the Greek team, despite being the clear favorite, suffered defeats - 0-1 in the 2nd round and 1-2 last week. Notably, both matches took place with the support of PAOK's fans.
Head-to-head statistics FCSB - PAOK
Fotbal Club FCSB Team Overview
The Romanian team continues to surprise all football fans with their results in the current Europa League campaign. FCSB had an impressive group stage performance (finishing in eleventh place) and is now just one step away from advancing to the Round of 16 playoffs. Despite being clear underdogs, the team completely outplayed PAOK away (2-1). Yes, a significant contribution to this result was the red card given to Taison at the end of the first half, but even with equal lineups, FCSB looked much more impressive than their opponent. Last weekend, the team managed to defeat Gloria (2-0), which should further boost the players' confidence. As for the upcoming match, 4 players, including Darius Olaru (8+3), will be unable to participate.

PAOK Thessaloniki Team Overview
Will the game against Lamia be a turning point? PAOK had a very unsuccessful start to 2025, suffering a significant number of defeats and falling out of the championship race. However, last weekend the team found the strength to secure a resounding victory with a 7-goal difference (7-0). The Greek team outperformed their opponent in every aspect. Even Abdul Rahman Baba managed to achieve a hat-trick of assists, although he had not previously registered as an assistant in the current championship campaign. As for the return match against FCSB, the coaching staff will not be able to rely on several important players, including Dominik Kotarski (the main goalkeeper) and Stefan Schwab (5+1).

⚽️ Goal Prediction
The upcoming game is expected to delight the audience with a considerable number of goals. FCSB plays quite effectively, rarely leaving the field without scoring. This is especially true for matches held at the "National Stadium Bucharest." PAOK even managed to score a total of 12 goals in the last two rounds of the Greek championship. Considering that the first meeting between these clubs ended with a 2-1 score in favor of the Romanians, we will bet on a total goals over 2.
🚩 Corner Prediction
For those who enjoy betting on various statistical indicators, we suggest considering the option of total corners under 9.5. In the first meeting between these teams, there were hardly any approaches to the corner flag - 1-2 in favor of FCSB. Throughout the season, both teams have shown good defensive discipline, which is reflected in the number of corners they allow their opponents to take. PAOK allows an average of 3.6 corners per match at their goal, while the Romanian team allows 3.8.
Editorial Prediction
According to the bookmakers, there is no clear favorite in this particular return match. However, we want to give our preference to FCSB. This season, the Romanian team is showing impressive results. The team reached optimal form at the end of August and has maintained a high standard since then. During this period, Elias Charalambous's side has suffered only five defeats, mostly against stronger opponents such as Manchester United (0-2) and Rangers (0-4). And PAOK's play is far from ideal, despite crushing victories over Lamia (7-0) and OFI (5-0). The team exhibits instability on a psychological level. Considering that PAOK couldn't offer anything against their opponent even at home, we are betting that FCSB will not lose. We believe the match will end with a score of 2-1.
