PAOK take on the visitors Marseille in the second leg of UEFA Europe Conference League. The match will be played on Thursday, April 14th at Toumba Stadium (Thessaloniki).
The first meeting ended with a score of 2:1 in favor of Marseille, who already scored 2 unanswered goals in the first half. And after all, the first 45 minutes of the Greek club acted with a strong eye on the defense, never hitting the target Olympique. Even a tight defense in the middle zone did not save us from 2 goals. After the break, Marseille could easily play on the score and thus pull the opponent to his own half of the field. But the French club stepped up the pressure even more, apparently determined to make the second leg a mere formality. Such a strategy led to a missed goal in the 48th minute and a minimal advantage. After a difficult game in France, PAOK rested all week and prepared for the second leg against Marseille. The slippery score of the first match does not mean that the Greek club will actively go forward. In the 1st half there will be a cautious game. If the score does not change, then PAOK will start to actively attack only in the second 45 minutes.

The hosts obviously will not go ahead with great forces from the first minutes. They have time for a cautious game with an attempt to score a goal on the counterattack. Active actions can be expected from PAOK only in the 2nd half.
The visitors will keep in mind upcoming difficult game with PSG in domestic league and will try to keep their strength for the championship. All this does not imply high performance.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals scored.
