PAOK vs Shamrock Rovers Prediction & Betting Tips (22 August)

Before talking about the European journey that has guided it so far, let's talk about the success gleaned for the first day of the championship for PAOK, last weekend at the expense of Panserraikos 3-2. It was the little parenthesis. Already, we are talking about a team which participated in the 2nd and 3rd round of the Champions League but against Malmö and in particular last week in the return match, the step was too high for the last quarter-finalist of the Conference League 2-2 in the first leg in Sweden, defeat 3-4 after extra time on the return home. In the 2nd round, the Greeks had not left a shadow of hope to Borac Banja Luka by winning the first leg and the return 3-2 and 0-1. Opposite, Shamrock did not come far from not be there this evening since in the previous round, after a first-leg defeat against Celje 1-0, he was able to turn things around by winning after extra time 3-1.

Like the Greeks, the Irish started their qualifying campaign under the flag of the Champions League but well below Sparta Prague in the 2nd round, losing 0-2 in the first leg and 4-2 defeat in the return. It should also be noted that the championship has already resumed in the country and after 25 days, Rovers is in a bad way with a 5th place, 10 lengths behind the leader Shelbourne. No championship game last weekend due to his presence in these playoffs.

Huge alert for PAOK who could not count on their starting goalkeeper for the resumption of the championship, Kotarski, although present a week ago against Malmö (uncertain). Probably preserved like his goalkeeper, Brazilian striker Taison (5 pawns last year) also did not participate in the championship match last weekend, the same for Baba and Otto. Arriving from La Gantoise after a good season in the Jupiler League (15 goals, 8 assists), Tissoudali intends to quickly establish himself in Greece but there are some good people in the competition including Brandon Thomas (7 goals, 4 assists). last year). For last weekend's success in the championship, PAOK can thank its savior, Schwab, author of a double while midfielder Ozdoev (6 goals last year) scored the 2-1 goal.

For tonight , and for a few matches now, Shamrock could cope without his injured scorer Johnny Kenny (10 goals, top scorer in the league). He is not the only one to make up the infirmary since McNulty and Rory Gaffney are injured. On the other hand, the Irish will rely on Greene (8 goals, 2 assists in the league), Burns (5 goals, 3 assists) or even on Burke (3 goals, 3 goals), scorer against Celje last week.
