PAOK vs Brann Prediction & Betting Tips (27 November)

Last year, PAOK was eliminated by FCSB in the round of 16 of the Europa League. Eager to escape the regular phase again this season, the Thessaloniki club is currently 10th and is only a small point behind 8th place. The start of the campaign was difficult with a draw conceded at home against Maccabi Tel Aviv 0-0 and a loss to Celta Vigo 3-1. On the other hand, the successes obtained against Lille 3-4 and Young Boys 4-0 during the last two days allowed them to move up the rankings. In the championship, Razvan Lucescu's men now occupy 2nd place with 2 points behind Olympiakos. Just before the international break, they ended a good series of 4 victories by losing to Panathinaikos 2-1. Last weekend, PAOK hosted Kifisia.

A nice surprise at the start of the campaign, Brann is now in 11th place in this Europa League with the same number of points as his opponent of the day. Narrowly beaten in Lille to start 2-1, the Norwegians then put together good results. Indeed, they took the upper hand, at home, over Utrecht 1-0 and Rangers 3-0 before bringing back a good draw from Bologna on the last day 0-0. On the national scene, Brann will close his championship next weekend . Winning the first two places, the Bergen-based team is currently 3rd qualifying seat for the preliminary rounds of the next C3 and is 2 points ahead of the 4th qualifying seat for the preliminary rounds of the next C4. After going three games without a win, 1 draw and 2 defeats, Brann traveled to Molde last weekend. 

PAOK remains deprived of important midfielder Mady Camara and young striker Chatsidis, who have not sufficiently recovered from their physical problems. In addition, goalkeeper Gugeshashvili is not included on the list to play in this Europa League, just like attackers Murg and Baldé. The good news comes from the return of senior defender Kedziora from suspension. Both scorers against Young Boys, Konstantelias (3 goals in the league, 2 goals and 1 assist in C3) and Giakoumakis (2 goals in the league, 2 goals in C3) are available. The attacking quartet could be completed by wingers Despodov (2 goals in the league, 1 assist in C3) and Taison (1 goal and 3 assists in the league).

In the midfield, takes place the former Bordeaux player Soualiho Meïté. For Brann, we must mention the withdrawals of young defender Torsvik, potential starters Myhre (midfielder), Holm and Magnusson (attackers) as well as long-term absent midfielders Wassberg and Opsahl. On the attacking front, Finne could take his place (6 goals and 3 assists in the league, 2 assists in C3). Midfielders Kornvig (7 goals and 2 assists in the league, 1 goal in C3) and Gudmundsson (5 goals and 5 assists in the league) play a leading role in this formation.
