Besiktas made it to the Champions League qualification thanks to the excellent ending of the championship that ended a month ago. It won six of its last seven games and managed to gain bronze medals. Unlike PAOK, the Turkish club plays quite effectively. The Black Eagles have scored more than two goals in seven of the last 10 games.
The specificity of this stage of the Champions League qualification is that there will be only one match. And it will take place in Greece. PAOK will adhere to its strategy, which assumes a reliable game in defense. Besiktas will have no choice but to protect the net from possible counterattacks of the hosts. As a result, this will lead the game to a struggle for the center of the field and a small number of goal attempts. In such a situation, one or two goals scored may decide the outcome of the meeting. It may well be that there will be no goals in regulation time because there will be no chance to win back in the return match. This means that attacking actions will give way to a reliable defensive game.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals scored
