PAOK vs AEK Match Preview

In the previous round against Panathinaikos, the hosts did a good start in the game and created many goal-scoring chances. However, Panathinaikos opened the score-line and then failed to reach victory. This is something that we've seen multiple times happening this season for PAOK. Things got worse for them in the second half, with Garcia substituting Warda and this led to losing control and balance in the game. Both Vieirinha and Kagawa haven't been training all week, so I don't think they will compete here today.

AEK comes from another defeat, this time against Volos, by 1-0. Manolo Jimenez's team keeps paying mistakes of their weaknesses and hasn't shown any kind of improvement since the beginning of the season. Both on the attack on defense they face a lot of problems, leading to negative results. Galanopoulos, Simoes and Chygrynskiy are unavailable.

With the recent reports, Jimenez may formate his team with 3 players on midfield and 3 back on the defense. Despite his final formation, I think they will play very defensively. and this could put a difficult task to PAOK's offensive line. Away win DNB is my call for this one.
