Having faced off in the Greek city of Thessaloniki last week, Celta Vigo and PAOK will now clash in the Galician region of Spain, where the hosts will be hoping to finish the job that they started a week ago, winning by two goals to one on the road. Of course, away goals are no longer of greater worth in the UEFA Europa League, so the visitors are far from out of this, even if they were second-best on home soil a week ago. Unfortunately, this looks like a difficult task for the men who play their soccer in Greece. They may have only lost by a single goal last week, but the margin of defeat could easily have been greater, which doesn't exactly bode well ahead of this second leg.
Not for the first time, reliable veteran Iago Aspas worked his magic a week ago, putting Celta ahead, before providing a timely assist for the second goal. The 38-year-old continued in hot form at the weekend, coming off the bench to score not once but twice. If the Celta legend turns up in the same mood here, then the visitors will be in trouble.

Our Celta Vigo vs PAOK Thessaloniki Prediction
Iago Aspas earned most of the plaudits last week and rightly so, with the veteran once again pulling the strings for Celta, but we shouldn't forget about Williot Swedberg, who also scored against PAOK a week ago, and who continues to link up very well with Aspas. Against a PAOK team that will leave gaps in behind in an attempt to chase this game, Swedberg will once again be a big threat, so much so that he looks a little generously priced to score at odds of +265.
After all, the young Swede has now scored three goals in just five Europa League appearances this season, while he really did look hungry last week, not only scoring but registering three shots on target.
Our Celta vs PAOK Pick: Williot Swedberg to Score.
