PAOK vs Club Brugge Prediction 18.04.2024

• Competition: Europa Conference League
• Date: 18.04.2024
• Kickoff: 20:00 UK/21:00 CEST
• Venue: Toumba Stadium (Thessaloniki)

One very extensive and tiring season for PAOK is coming to an end and it is still not known what the final result will be. What is known is that the club from Thessaloniki finished the competition in the semi-finals of the Greek Cup, but everything is still open in the Greek Super League. In one of the most interesting seasons in the history of the strongest Greek competition, AEK Athens is first with 69 points, Panathinaikos has one point less and PAOK is in 3rd place with 67 points.

Also PAOK has a chance to reach the semi-finals of the Conference League, but they will have to make up for the 1-goal deficit from Brugge.

Club Brugge participates in the Championship Group of the Belgian Jupiler League and at the very start they managed to achieve three positive results. With victories against Antwerp and Anderlecht, they made their way to 3rd place in the table and now maybe even the Champions League seems within reach. Club Brugge played a fairly solid match against PAOK in Belgium, but only managed a 1-goal advantage. The problem for this team could be away games because they won only once in the previous 7 matches played away from Brugge and this is a rather hot field.

PAOK vs Club Brugge pick: PAOK TO WIN

PAOK had a crisis moment at home during February when they did not win 4 consecutive matches, but this is one of the teams that receives the most energy in its stadium in European frameworks. The European competition is a great motivation for this squad and an incentive to give their best. As it was said, Club Brugge does not have such good results on the away field and they could choose a more defensive option for this match. We expect a tough duel with few chances, but also a victory for the home team with at least one goal difference and possible extra time and even penalties.
