FCSB vs PAOK Prediction & Betting Tips (20 February)

The Romanians remained on very good results on the move and their confidence increased following their victory in the first leg in Greece 1-2. Enough to welcome this return match with a little more serenity but they will still have to finish the job at home this evening. To discuss the balance sheet at home, he is rather correct with a good victory recently in the championship against Sepsi 3-0 or even a parity score at ten against eleven against the very serious formation of the CFR Cluj, first in the 0-0 championship. The title holder in Romania will have tried to hold Cluj's boot in a distance match last weekend on the move to Gloria Buzau to follow. We note all the same that at home, the FCSB lost the final day for the reception of Manchester United 0-2 when a victory would have allowed him to finish with 17 points and therefore, to appear in the qualifying top 8 For the knockout stages.

 Not helped by the expulsion of Taison in the first period, the PAOK therefore succumbed to the strike force of the FCSB in inferiority with also the exit on the injury of the central holder Michailidis. No bowl therefore for the quarter finalist of the last edition of the conference league which is now back to the wall and forced to overthrow the trend on the go. Travel is clearly not the Fort of the Greeks lately since their recent championship victory on the OFI lawn Crete 0-5, they had previously contracted four games on the road for a balance sheet of 3 Defeat against the championship cadors such as the AEK Athens 1-0, and the Panathinaikos 2-1, and facing Real Sociedad during the final day of the 2-0 League phase. Last weekend, the PAOK received Lamia in the championship, and aims to end the canon season to appear in the top 4 to follow. 

Impressive in the league with 10 achievements, the man with 3 pawns in C3 Birligea will not participate in this part due to a suspension (accumulation of yellow cards). A very bad news as much as Baeten, Lixandru, Olaru (8 goals, 3 assists in the league), Popescu (2 goals, 1 pass in the league), and the replacement Toma will be, as in the first leg, absent ( wounded). A week ago, the light appeared through the return with goals signed Dawa (expected titular to the first leg), and the Gheorghita recruit, which has just landed on loan from Poli Lasi. The two men will probably be renewed in the group when it is important to recall that Pantiu and Luis Phelipe left the ship during the winter transfer window. Frenchman Jordan Gele has just arrived but the latter is not registered with UEFA to participate in this competition.

The first leg was terrible for the PAOK, the central holder Michailidis was forced to go out on injury, in the Failed, it's the middle side (5 goals, 10 championship assists last season) that was excluded and logically absent tonight. In the injuries department, the porter replacing Monastirlis will not be on foot to be at least in the group while a packet of players are not registered with the UEFA lists, in this case the world vice-champion Croatian Lovren, the Tricolore Bakayoko (ex-Monaco), Vieirinha (2 passes in the championship this season), the very young American Gomez (sporadic in the rotation), without forgetting the replacement Pavlenka, the Peruvian international Pena, or Still the Polish international loaned by Cagliari this winter, Wieteska (ex-fensional of Clermont also). Announced uncertain at the outward journey, Chalov (2 goals, 2 championship passes) was well on the match sheet but he did not leave the bench, idem for Zivkovic (4 championship achievements) which recovers from an injury . During the transfer window, boys like the Moroccan scorer Tissoudali (disappointing), and the important Murg (Saudi Arabia) left while in the cross driven, Meite (ex-benfica/monaco) and Pelkas (ex-isanbul Basaksehir) put their suitcases in Greece.
