PAOK vs Young Boys Prediction & Betting Tips (6 November)

Far from being considered favorites when it came to the Losc field on the last day, PAOK Salonika nevertheless pulled off a very nice move by winning in the North of France despite a big scare at the end of the match 3-4. A welcome success for this Greek team which had previously been held to a draw by Maccabi Tel Aviv 0-0 and dominated by Celta Vigo 3-1. In the ranking, she was therefore able to climb to 20th position. Otherwise, in the championship, the club from the city of Thessaloniki still occupies the head of the ranking ahead of Olympiakos before going to the Panserraikos field next weekend where it will aim for a 4th consecutive success. On the other side of the median, the Young Boys had a very delicate start in this competition by losing rather sharply at home against the Greeks of Panathinaikos during the first day 1-4.

That said, the Swiss were able to find the resources to bounce back immediately against FCSB 0-2 and to follow up against Ludogorets 3-2 during the following two days in order to climb to 13th place in the ranking. The Bern players, on the other hand, are not very consistent in the championship where they are only in 5th place in the ranking. Hanging by Grasshoppers 3-3, Young Boys host FC Basel on Sunday. 

As during the trip to Lille, the holders Taison (ex-Shaktar) and Ozdoev (1 goal, 2 assists) are likely to be missed. To this we add that the Georgian doorman Gugeshashvili, wingers Balde and Berdos and attacking midfielder Murg are not qualified to take part in this Europa League and central defender Kedziora will be suspended after being sent off on the last day and midfielder Camara also risks forfeiting. Consequently, experienced defender Lovren (ex Lyon) could start this Thursday. Up front, we could find the formidable Bulgarian Despodov (2 goals in the league) and the Serbian Zivkovic (1 goal, 2 assists in the league), author of a double against Lille.

On the Young Boys side, the important defender Gregory Wuthrich is in the infirmary like the young Smith and Mats Seiler and the long-term absentees Alvyn Sanches and Facinet Conte (ex-Bastia). Offensively, the Swiss should count on the services of Joel Monteiro (2 goals in the league) who is the most decisive player of this formation in C3 (also 2 goals). In addition to this, Bedia (7 goals in the league) and Christian Fassnacht (6 goals, 3 assists in the league) complete a very efficient offensive sector.
