The lead over the chaser AEK Athens was four meters.

The meeting was already decided in the first round. After 30 minutes PAOK was ahead 3-0. Shortly before the half-time break, the Greeks even shot an elf. Benfica, however, will be of a different caliber.
So far, PAOK has never made it into the group phase of the top class. If the quotas are given faith, it will not be that time either.

The deficit on the frontrunner from Porto amounted to five counters. The offensive scored 71 goals and 26 goals were conceded on the other side.

On paper, this pairing is subject to a clear roll distribution. The guests from Lisbon go as favourites on a threesome and thus enter the next lap in the race. However, this endeavour should by no means be simple. After all, the Greeks have been very strong lately and will do everything in their power to continue their positive series. The direct comparison underpins the favorite role of the guests. Three out of four pairings with PAOK were won. Furthermore, a draw was made. As part of our betting tip prognosis, we see guests slightly at an advantage and recommend betting on an away win.
