Venue: Toumba Stadium
Levski Sofia stunned most of the supporters' groups and viewers alike when they beat PAOK, both tactically and morally, in the first leg last week. The Bulgarian FA also seem to be believing in this ambitious pathway of their own club as the Parva Liga fixture on the weekend was cancelled to help the Thursday's visitors to prepare better for the second leg (and even due to time constraints). Nevertheless, Thursday's second leg will not be easy. PAOK has been amongst Greek football's top three sides for the last few years and in their own backyard, they are the ultimate kings. The Super League giants have also attained some fabulous results in their pre-season, beating the likes of Standard Liege and Go Ahead Eagles, while sharing points with AZ Alkmaar.
PAOK vs Levski Sofia Betting Tips
We believe that Levski Sofia will go the old route, trying to defend their 2-goal advantage rather than going all out for a third goal. The latter plan would also mean that they will be risking too much space behind for PAOK to exploit. Nevertheless, this prediction of ours results in two classic betting opportunities - BTTS No and Under 2.5 goals being scored. One looking for high gains should surely go for an ACCA of the two, while we would be focusing on BTTS-No as our best bet due to the relatively better chances. The probable final result shall be a 2-0 win for PAOK in normal time, taking the game to extra time, where any team can literally get the win.
- Best Tip: BTTS-No
- Prediction: 2-0 PAOK

PAOK Team News
When a team's best player struggles to stay true to his capabilities, it always spells trouble for the rest 10 men on the pitch. It was a similar situation for PAOK in the first leg as versatile and physically dominant midfielder Douglas Augusto struggled to get hold of the centre of the park during the 90 minutes that he occupied the pitch. A few moments of agony also resulted in a silly booking late in the game. Augusto will be hoping to make amends by putting on a show when the two sides take the field again, this Thursday. Another crucial player to keep an eye on will be right-back, Joan Sastre, who saw the two first-leg goals being created from his flank. Sastre is a talented right-back who shall put up a defensive block whenever the team needs it. Augusto and Sastre will be our two players to watch in this game.

Levski Sofia Team News
Levski Sofia fans sang the names of forwards Welton and Bilal Bari all night, thanks to their brace to put up a stunning victory path for the Bulgarians. The two were quick to display their abilities in the final third as it took less than a minute for Welton to open the scoring and less than twenty for Bari to double the lead. But, the unsung hero was definitely central midfielder Kellian van der Kaap, who not only kept Douglas Augusto at bay but was also a fifth defender for his team which kept a really surprising clean sheet to mark a historic win. Welton, Bilal Bari and most importantly Van der Kaap will be our players to watch in this game.
