⭐ Editorial Prediction
According to the bookmakers, PAOK are considered slight favourites for the second leg. In the first match, the Greek side underestimated their opponents and paid for it with defeat, but a similar approach is not to be expected this time around. They are in a position where they need to overturn the result, so they should be focused and determined to win from the first minute. Our pick is a PAOK win. Expected score: 1-2.
