PAOK vs Marseille Match Preview

For the second leg of the UEFA Europa Conference League quarter-finals stage, PAOK welcomes Marseille at the Toumpa stadium.

A "sweet" defeat for PAOK in the first match in Marseille, a defeat with 2-1 leaves wide open the qualification in today's rematch. They entered the match quite passively and with the completion of the first quarter of the match were left behind in the score, while shortly before the break they conceded a second goal. In the second half, the rapid deduction of the score helped them balance the match and kept a score that give him hopes of qualifying. Now PAOK will look for a victory that will send them for the first time in their history to the semifinals of a European tournament.

In the domestic league, the scheduled match against Olympiakos was postponed in order to better prepare for their European tasks.

The victory of Marseille in the first match against PAOK with 2-1 leaves a bittersweet taste for the French side. On the one hand, Marseille took a small qualifying lead but on the other hand, they missed the opportunity to prevail with a bigger score that would make their job easier in tonight's rematch at Thessaloniki.

Last Saturday, Marseille prevailed over Montpellier at home with 2-0 in the 31st round of the French Ligue 1 and got their 4th consecutive victory in the league. With this victory, they remain in 2nd place with 59 points, 3 more than 3rd placed Rennes.

The score of the first match gives great interest in this second leg. PAOK with enthusiasm and with the support of their fans will seek victory, Marseille for their part are more experienced and have the luxury to look for two results. Both, however, score easily but find it difficult to keep a clean sheet. My pick is "Both Teams To Score" at 1.93 odds.
