Best Tip: PAOK to win

As training goes on this week and the PAOK players ready themselves for this clash, the bookmakers are predicting a victory for them. The odds and our pre-match stats below point in that direction too, as does the historical head-to-head (H2H) information we use in our predictive algorithms. The Toumba Stadium has rarely been a happy hunting ground for for Young Boys in the past, and we expect more of the same come Thursday night. A win / draw / win home win is the way to go.
