PAOK take on the visitors Xanthi in the second leg of Greek national cup quarterfinals. The game will be played on Thursday, March 2nd at Toumba Stadium (Thessaloniki).
PAOK show nice results in domestic competitions and belong to the leaders of the league. However, they couldn’t do anything with Schalke in Europa League and now they will be focusing on championship and the cup. The team have won their three matches of the playoffs of the domestic cup, beating twice Panetholikos, 2-0, 4-1, and Xanthi in the reverse leg on the road, 2-1. PAOK played 18 matches at own turf this season, taking 11 wins, two draws and recording five defeats.

Xanthi are now sixth in the Greek Super League standings, four point behind today’s opponents. The team had troubles advancing for the quarterfinals as OFI had offered Xanthi quite a battle, 1-0, 1-2. The team played 14 matches on the road in all competitions, taking five wins, drawing three times and losing six matches. We should note that four out of these six defeats were recorded in their last four voyages with 2- on aggregate.
PAOK are undefeated in their last six matches against Xanthi and four of these games ended with draws. We should expect another quite even battle of two solid teams how know each other and won’t allow to create numerous chances to one another. We have all reasons to expect a low-scoring result in upcoming clash.
Prediction for the match: Under 3.0 goals.
