After contrasting results in their first match of the 2024-25 Europa League campaign, PAOK and FCSB square off in what could prove to be an exciting match. This match at the Toumba Stadium on Thursday comes with our prediction of seeing goals from both teams.
The hosts are coming off a 1-0 loss to Aris in the Greek Super League, which was preceded by a 3-1 defeat at the hands of Galatasaray on matchday one. The result could have been different, but PAOK conceded twice from the 75th minute onwards. The loss halted a three-game unbeaten run for the Greeks in this competition, where they won two and drew once.
They are even better at home, where PAOK have won three and drawn two of their last five home Europa League matches. FCSB are on a contrastingly different platform compared to their hosts, coming off a 1-0 win over Sepsi. That came right after their 4-1 win over Rigas on matchday one, where they burst on to the scene beyond the 30th minute, scoring three goals.
In the Europa League, FCSB won two games in a row, and going back in time, they have lost just one of their last six matches. That sequence saw them win four and draw one, while the loss came at their home venue.
The visitors have an even better record on the road in recent times, having won four and drawn one of their last six away Europa League matches, losing only once.

More than 80 leagues and competitions are available on this football promotion from bet365. If the team that you have backed takes a two-goal lead at any point in the game, then your bet is a winner. This counts on both single bets and on multiple placed on the full time market, though of course on a multiple it is only the game in question that is marked as a winner, all the other selections still have to win as well.
A bet placed on any enhanced price is not valid for this offer, nor any bet that is cashed out. If you have partially chased out, the remainder of the stake is paid out as a winner. If your acca selection would have been a loser but for this offer then you will not gain any acca boost winnings. So for example, your team goes 2-0 up so you are paid out as a winner but the end result is 2-2, your bet is still a winner if all the other selections win but you do not gain any acca boost.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
