Team News

FC FCSB
PAOK Thessaloniki FC
  • The hosts are dealing with something of an injury crisis here, with as many as six players potentially absent for this crucial second leg.
  • William Baetan, Octavian Popescu and Mihai Toma have joined those already in the treatment room.
  • PAOK have a number of concerns heading into Thursday's trip to FC FCSB.
  • Jonathan Gomez, Tiemoue Bakayoko and Dejan Lovren are all doubts, while winger Taison is suspended here.

Prediction

  • FC FCSB followed up their first-leg victory last Thursday with a 2-0 win over FC Gloria Buzau on the weekend.
  • PAOK, meanwhile, bounced back from the defeat in rampant fashion as they put seven past Lamia in the Greek Super League.
  • This will now be the third meeting of these sides this season, with FC FCSB victorious away from home on both previous occasions.
  • Expect the hosts to consolidate their advantage and advance to the round of 16 here.
