PAOK hoped to play in the Champions League this autumn, but after being defeated 6-5 after extra time in the previous round against Swedish Malmo FF, the Greek champions from last season moved to the Europa League qualifications, where they will meet Irish Shamrock Rovers. After a defeat against Malmo FF, PAOk also had their first game in the Greek Super League this season. Razvan Lucescu's team won 3-2 against Panserraikos, but they certainly expected a much easier task.
Shamrock Rovers started their European journey in the Champions League, too, but after losing a few weeks ago against Sparta Prague, they moved to the second-best European tier. In the Europa League qualifications last two weeks, they won 3-2 after extra time against Celje. Shamrock Rovers are probably not good enough to beat PAOK, but the Irish team will likely be satisfied with a guaranteed spot in the Conference League.
PAOK vs Shamrock Rovers pick: Over 3.5 goals
So far this season, four of five PAOK matches were with four or more goals. On the other hand, Shamrock Rovers scored at least one goal in four of the previous five games. We should expect at least four goals in the upcoming tie between PAOK and Shamrock Rovers.

PAOK team news
After losing against Malmo FF in the Champions League qualifications, PAOK struggled against Panserraikos too. The head coach, Razvan Lucescu, after a tough 3-2 win, talked about the problems the team faces at the moment. Lucescu said, "Let's not forget that we were mentally exhausted. Many dreamed of going to the next stage of the Champions League or even to the final stage. In my speech to the players, I referred to our elimination by Benfica in 2018, after which we struggled to win our next two league games. So it was very important to win this match".
