Krasnodar vs. PAOK Saloniki Tip & Quotas, Sep 22, 2020 – 09:00 PM – Champions League Qualification
The Russian representative from Krasnodar has to compete in the playoffs to the Champions League against the Greek representative PAOK Thessaloniki. Even before the kick-off, the Russians start the race as a light favourite based on the odds. However, this is probably primarily due to home law. The meeting will take place on Tuesday, 22 September at 21:00 at Krasnodar Stadium. To what extent the Russian representative knows how to use his home right and thus achieves a good starting point for the upcoming re-match, it is important to find out in the following betting tip forecast.

Last year, Krasnodar finished third in the Russian Premier League. St. Petersburg and the Moscow locomotive were simply unavoidable. With a record of 14 victories, ten draws and six defeats, 52 points were scored. The gap with the Petersburg champion was 20 points. The championship question was fundamentally never debated. After all, only five points were missing from the second place in the table from Moscow. Thus, direct qualification to the top class would have been an option. At least the Russians start directly into the playoffs to qualify for the Champions League.
Last year Krasnodar also failed because of a Greek representative. This was named Olympiakos Piraeus. In the first leg it set a devastating 0:4 and the second leg was lost by 1:2. For this reason, the team competed directly in the group stage of the Europa League. But pulled the shorter one against Basel and Getafe and ended up only in third place with a record of three victories and three bankruptcies.
The Russian Premier League is already in full swing. After eight days in the game, coach Murad Musaev’s team won only four wins. On the other hand, these successes are offset by two draws and two defeats. However, the final day of the match led to a 7-2 edge victory against Khimki. In any case, a more than strong result. With 14 points taken, the team moved to fifth place in the table.

With the Greeks is certainly not good at qualifying for the Champions League group stage eating cherries. As vice champion, PAOK started in the second qualifying round. There it was necessary to stand up against the Turkish representative Besiktas Istanbul. A task that the team was capable of in any case. After 90 minutes, a sovereign 3-1 victory was achieved. In the next round, the Greeks were traded as clear outsiders against Benfica. Against the backdrop of home, the first round passed without a goal. However, this should change after the page change. In the 63rd minute of the game Dimitris Giannoulis scored the lead goal after a nice match with Chuba Akpom. The 2-0 came from a well-known name for Benfica. The hit went to Andrija Zivkovic’s account. He moved from Benfica to PAOK this season. Rafa Silva’s goal came too late in the fourth minute of the replay. But will the Greeks now be able to provide the next big surprise?
Last year, PAOK failed Slovan Bratislava in the fourth round of the Europa League qualification. After losing the first leg in the distance by 0-1, a narrow 3-2 victory against the backdrop of home should not be enough to reach the group stage.
This season Thessaloniki is unbeaten after two match days and impresses with a record of a win and a draw. The last match day against Atromitos Athens resulted in a 1-1 win. With four captured counters, it is sufficient at this time for rank 2 of the table.

As already mentioned at the beginning, the Russians show the somewhat lower victory rate due to the home advantage. Nevertheless, guests should not be underestimated. Since it is the first leg, the Russians in particular are in demand. The second leg is played in Greece. PAOK has so far been able to make all home matches victorious as part of the qualification. As part of our betting tip prognosis, we see the home team as having a slight advantage and recommend betting on a narrow home win.
