PAOK vs Anderlecht Prediction & Betting tips
PAOK Thessaloniki and RSC Anderlecht will face off at Stadio Toumbas in Thessaloniki for the first leg of the third qualifying round of the UEFA Europa League. The winner of this double leg will qualify for the play-offs, being just one step away from the group stage of the competition. Toumba Stadium is renowned for its extremely hostile atmosphere. PAOK were undefeated at home last season, recording 12 wins in 16 matches. The Belgians coached by Vitor Bruno are suffering on foreign soil, having a negative streak of 5 matches without a win away from home in official competitions, where they have conceded an average of 2.4 goals per match. Anderlecht parted ways with the experienced Thorgan Hazard this summer, now relying on a younger core, orchestrated in the middle by Ali Maamar.
PAOK:
The Greeks, led by new coach Alessio Lisci, are coming off an exciting qualification against Dynamo Kiev, 5-2 on aggregate. After a 3-2 away win, PAOK calmly won 2-0 at home. The attacking midfielder/wing forward of PAOK is in remarkable form, having already scored 3 goals in the two European matches against the Kiev team.
Anderlecht:
The Belgians qualified after defeating Swedish side Hammarby 4-2 on aggregate. They drew (1-1) in the first leg, followed by a 3-1 home win in the second leg. Anderlecht’s new striker quickly impressed, managing to score in both the first leg and the second leg of the previous match. The young talent in the Belgian attack is putting pressure on for a starting spot after coming off the bench and scoring in the victory against Hammarby.
