PAOK will go into this game seeking a first win in three matches. Before their slim loss in Belgium, they had played to a 2-2 draw with AEK Athens in their domestic league. In their rich scoring form, PAOK will be confident of overturning the deficit in this fixture. Before the Brugge defeat, they had scored two or more in four straight matches and will want to return to that form. They will however be concerned about their defensive output, having failed to keep a clean sheet in seven straight games. Four of their last five matches actually had both teams scoring and it is the same in three of four home matches. In their last home match, PAOK did well to come from a goal down and beat Lamia 3-1 in league action. The challenge here is tougher but they will be motivated by having won two straight home matches. Those two include a 5-1 thrashing of Dinamo Zagreb the last time they hosted a Conference League game. PAOK are actually unbeaten in eight home matches in the Conference League. They have five wins in the last six home matches in the competition. Their only problem will be that in the last four, they failed to keep a clean sheet, both teams scoring.

Club Brugge have a slim lead to protect in their trip to Greece. Hugo Veltesen’s early goal was all they could muster in the first leg, winning 1-0. They will be justified to feel their lead needs a lot of work to protect. The Belgians warmed up for this match with a more comfortable win in their league, beating Antwerp 3-0. Two straight clean sheets would give them the confidence in defence needed for this encounter. That and the fact they have been on a good scoring run are just the needed qualities coming into this game. The visitors have scored in each of their last nine matches, in five of them, netting three goals. They are now on three straight wins, and four matches unbeaten, just the run of form they need for such a key game. However, all of Club Brugge’s three straight wins have come in home matches. They need some improvement on their away performances, coming here without a win on their last three away trips. The visitors have actually lost three of their last five away matches and have managed just a win in seven away games. They’ll take solace in the fact they need a draw here to progress, and that they’ve won five of six away Conference League matches.
