The match
With eyes on finishing top of Group ‘E’, Granada will travel to the Toumba Stadium to take on PAOK Salonique in their final group match of the UEFA Europa League. Granada are top of the standings with ten points, while PAOK are third in the tally with five points.
Granada are already through to the next round and will top the group with a result that is same as or better than that of PSV Eindhoven over Omonia in the other final match of the group. PAOK are already eliminated but need to match the result or better than that of Omonia against PSV.
PAOK won 2-0 in the domestic league over the weekend making it six wins in their last eight competitive matches, losing two. Unfortunately, though, both the losses have come in the Europa League where they faltered after starting well. PAOK remained unbeaten in their first three Europa League matches, winning one and drawing two, including the reverse fixture. PAOK are unbeaten at home, though, giving hopes of an upset.
Granada were held to a 3-3 draw by Huesca in their domestic league match over the weekend. Granada have been struggling for form with just one win in their last six competitive matches, losing four. However, the win has come in the Europa League which has been a welcome distraction for the visitors.
Key Statistics
- PAOK have conceded goals in their last seven Europa League home matches whilst the last four saw goals at both ends.
- PAOK are unbeaten at home in Europa League this season, with a win and a draw.
- Granada have won all four of their away matches in European competition, including two qualifiers and two group matches.
The bet of our experts
PAOK will take comfort from their historical record against Spanish opposition – they have never lost a home match in the UEFA Cup / Europa League against Spanish clubs, winning three and drawing two whilst keeping four clean sheets. However, Granada will be favourites going into this match going by their recent form. They have won all four of their away matches in European competition and should fancy adding a fifth. Either way, there should be goals in this match, but our main pick is on PAOK upsetting the odds and picking up at least a point.
