📊 Form Guide

PAOK DWDDWW 📈

PAOK are hoping to win again following the 1-0 Super League victory over Larissa.

A recurring characteristic of recent PAOK games is seeing a zero in the scoreline.

Taking their previous 6 matches leading up to this one, in as many as 5 of them a bet on "Both Teams to Score" would've been a loser. Such a pattern isn’t assured to be continued here, however.

Benfica LWDWWW 📈

Benfica go into this meeting following on from a 2-1 Primeira Liga win to defeat Sporting Lisbon in their last fixture.

In that game, Benfica managed 47% possession and 17 shots on goal with 4 on target. For Benfica, the scorers were Haris Seferović (28') and Carlos Vinícius (88'). At the other end, Sporting CP got 12 attempts at goal with 5 of them on target. Andraž Šporar (69') was the scorer for Sporting Lisbon.

Jorge Jesus's Benfica have managed to stick the ball in the net 12 times throughout their previous 6 matches. The overall goals that have been scored against them during the equivalent period comes to 5.

📋 Team News: PAOK

Douglas Augusto (Ruptured cruciate ligament), Rodrigo (Muscle Injury) and Josip Misic (Knee Cyst) aren’t available for PAOK manager Abel Ferreira.

📋 Team News: Benfica

Due to a mostly healthy group of players, there’s only a single fitness problem for the Benfica gaffer Jorge Jesus to be concerned about. Alejandro Grimaldo (Unknown Injury) won’t be in action.

💭 Prediction

We envisage that PAOK must be fancied to breach the defence of this Benfica side, although one goal possibly won’t be enough to avoid a loss.

We’re going for a close game with a 1-2 win for Benfica at full-time. Looking forward to seeing how this one unfolds.
