PAOK Benfica betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

In this game we expect a more capable Benfica to reach the victory, however, it should be a complicated game. Even away from home, the home club should dominate and have the best chances to score, taking advantage of the defensive weaknesses of PAOK. On the other hand, the home team comes motivated for this match due to the latest results and in this game they should try to score goals. Thus, we expect a very open game and with several chances of goals for both sides.
