PAOK will look to avenge the loss to FCSB earlier this season when the teams meet in the UEFA Europa League knockout playoffs on Thursday. The first leg between the Greek hosts and the Romanian visitors to be played at the Toumba Stadium in Thessaloniki comes with our prediction of a double chance on the visitors.
PAOK finished their League phase engagements with ten points with three wins and four defeats from their eight matches. One of those losses came against FCSB, who finished the league commitments 11th in the table and only out of the top-eight automatic qualification via goal difference.
The Greek hosts won 5-0 away at OFI Crete last weekend for their third win in five games. One of those defeats was in this competition, as a 2-0 loss to Sociedad in the last round ended a run of three consecutive wins.
FCSB lost on their final matchday fixture against Manchester United, which was eventually enough to deny a direct berth into the round of 16. The Romanians, since then, have won one and drawn two matches to get a bit of confidence ahead of the knockouts.
The visitors did finish higher up the table than their hosts and will look to extend their recent good form.

Our PAOK Thessaloniki vs FCSB Prediction
It will be an emotional game for PAOK coach Răzvan Lucescu, who will be up against his hometown club FCSB. That should add a bit more spice to this contest, which was already played out once in the League Phase! That game was won by FCSB at this venue by a 1-0 scoreline, despite playing with just ten men from the 55th minute onwards. The visitors could fancy their chances of staying alive in the contest by avoiding defeat here. That's why our PAOK Thessaloniki vs Fotbal Club Fcsb prediction is a draw or FCSB wins the match.
