PAOK vs Ferencvaros Prediction & Betting Tips (12 December)

Often present in recent years on the European scene, PAOK Salonika hoped to at least be one of the 24 teams capable of emerging from this League phase. This is not happening for the moment for the Greeks who are only at 27th place in the ranking and who are therefore virtually eliminated. Very bad start in this competition with 3 defeats suffered during the first 4 days against Galatasaray 3-1, FCSB 0-1, Viktoria Plzen 2-2 and Manchester United 2-0 , they were able to revive by dominating Rigas FC 0-2 on the last day. In their own championship, the players from Thessaloniki are on the podium and they will try to get back into contact with the leader by traveling to the Panserraikos field next weekend. For their part, Ferencvaros had a poor start to their European campaign in losing from the start against Anderlecht 2-1 and Tottenham 1-2.

But the Hungarians were still able to raise their heads by winning 3 times during the last days against Nice 1-0, Dynamo kyiv 0-4 and Malmo 4-1 to make a fairly spectacular rise in the standings and climb in 11th place just one short length from 6th place. At the same time, the Budapest-based club is in 2nd place in its championship, a short distance behind Puskas FC who are the leader. After conceding 2 draws in a row, Ferencvaros will try to get back on the path to success against Debrecen.

At PAOK, replacement goalkeeper Pavlenka and central defender Lovren, who arrived too late from Lyon, were not included on the list of players authorized to play in this competition. The experienced Austrian midfielder Schwab (4 goals in the league), the Brazilian striker Taison (1 goal in the league, ex-Shaktar), the former Rennais Bakayoko, the starting midfielder Murg must for their part give up again, all injured in this month of December. On the offensive level, the Bulgarian Despodov (2 goals in the league, 1 goal in C3), the Serbian Zivkovic (2 goals), the Moroccan Tissoudali (2 goals in the league, 1 goal in C3 and the new Greek international Konstantelias (21 years old ) should all be part of the group. Opposite, this Hungarian team of Ferencvaros must still do without senior defender Raul Gustavo who remains in the infirmary. None However, no other absence is to be deplored.

Particularly successful in this Europe League, the Hungarian international Varga (3 goals in the league, 6 goals in C3) remains on 2 doubles scored in the last 2 days. Winger Kady Borges (2 goals in the league) has 3 assists in this competition. The other offensive Saldanha (5 goals in championship, 1 goal in C3) and Traoré (3 goals in the championship, 1 goal in C3) should also make the trip to the shores of the Aegean Sea.
