There aren’t many selection issues, with just a single fitness concern for the PAOK gaffer Răzvan Lucescu to be concerned with from of an almost fully healthy set of players. William Troost-Ekong (bruise) is sidelined.

In our view, Dikefalos tou Vorra could go for a 4-2-3-1 system for this game, handing starts to Dominik Kotarski, Jonny, Tomasz Kedziora, K. Koulierakis, Abdul Rahman Baba, Stefan Schwab, Soualiho Meite, Kiril Despodov, Thomas Murg, Taison and Brandon.

Club Brugge manager Nicky Hayen has multiple availability issues to deal with. Denis Odoi (minor knock), Jorne Spileers (Facial injury), Casper Nielsen (Thigh problems), Simon Mignolet (Hamstring injury) and Andreas Skov Olsen (minor knock) are those who can’t be considered.

We reckon that Blauw-Zwart seem likely to play in a 5-3-2 system, starting Nordin Jackers, Kyriani Sabbe, Joel Ordonez, Eder Alvarez, Michal Skoras, Bjorn Meijer, Hugo Vetlesen, Hans Vanaken, Raphael Onyedika, Antonio Nusa and Ferran Jutgla.

We’re going for a 1-0 advantage for PAOK at the end of the 90 minutes.

We’re expecting it to be that close.
