PAOK hosts AEK Athens FC in the second leg of the Greek Cup semifinals. The match will be played on Thursday, April 29th at Toumba Stadium (Thessaloniki)
PAOK managed to win gold medals in 2019. It happened for the 3rd time in the history of Double-headed Eagles of the North and for the first time since 1985. They also won the cup. But they did not manage to stay at that level and dropped to the 2nd place. And now PAOK will not be higher, as Olympiacos has an incredible fixture of 82 points after 32 rounds. PAOK has scored only 58, like Aris. And the White-Blacks didn’t manage to prove themselves in other tournaments. They showed a great start in the Champions League qualification, eliminating Besiktas and Benfica. But in the decisive round, the Greeks lost both matches to Krasnodar (1-2). In the Europa League, PAOK gained only one victory and six points in a simple group (PSV, Omonia, and Granada). Therefore, the season must be saved through the cup.

AEK Athens unexpectedly managed to become the champions of Greece in 2018. Before that, the Yellow-Blacks won the top division back in 1994. Then there was a recession, and the last draw brought only bronze medals. And now Manolo Jimenez's charges (the Spaniard returned to Athens in 2020 to lead the club for the 4th time) are at risk of retreating one step back. There were quite good games in April. AEK managed to beat Aris and Asteras with a score of 3-1, and then the Yellow-Blacks avoided defeat to Panathinaikos in the 92nd minute. But in the last round, AEK did not succeed in opposing the leading Olympiacos, and the match ended with a 2-0 defeat. The second PAOK has only three points more, and the teams will have to play a head-to-head match. So, it's too early to give up.
If we look at the last 12 head-to-head matches, PAOK lost only once. In spring, the Double-headed Eagles of the North managed to beat the Yellow-Blacks in the championship (3-1). And most importantly, on April 7, Murg, who appeared from the bench in the last minutes, brought the club a victory in the first away match. PAOK can play the score and expect mistakes from AEK. And it seems that the club from Thessaloniki will win again.
Prediction for the match: PAOK to win
