Betting suggestion:

The most likely scenario for this match will be Basel doesn’t lose. We admit that this match will be very balanced, with some moments of the match closed, being possible that the two teams will dominate in different moments of the match. However, Basle have more tactical technical quality compared to their opponents and are likely to take advantage of their opponents' weaknesses to reach the goals. So, and taking into account these factors, risking in favor the draw no bet of visiting team in this match is an excellent option.

Preview
PAOK and Basel meet at Stadio Toumbas, in a match for this stage of the UEFA Champions League (2nd Qualifying Round). These two teams have never met before, so this will be the first head‑to‑head between them. Both teams register significant differences between home and away results, so the home/away factor is worth atention.

Analysis PAOK

The home team plays its first match in this edition of the UEFA Champions League with the intention of using the home advantage to get a positive result. This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 14 wins and 1 loss in away matches, with 37 goals scored and 9 conceded; against 10 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses at their stadium, with 33 goals scored and 16 conceded. In their last match, for the Club Friendlies, they got an away win against De Graafschap by (1‑2). In the last 10 home matches PAOK has won 5, tied 2 and lost 3. They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in all of the last 10 matches. In their home matches there is a tendency for goals, since 23 of the last 26 matches have ended with Over 1,5 goals and 19 out of 26 have ended with Over 2,5 goals.

PAOK comes for this second round of the Champions League after winning the 2nd position of the Greek Championship. We remember that the Greeks beat De Graafschap by 1-2 in a preparation match for the new season. Usually, the coach Razvan Lucescu plays in 4-2-3-1 privileging the low block and direct football for the attack, especially for the centre forward Aleksandar Prijovic. Note that PAOK preferentially uses the centre aisle to create danger to the opponent: Pelvas is a very fast and important player in the defense-attack transition. For this match, the coach won’t count on Lévêque due to injury.

Confirmed Lineup: Alexandros Paschalakis, Léo Matos, Fernando Varela, José Ángel Crespo, Maurício, Dimitris Pelkas, Vieirinha, José Alberto Cañas, Aleksandar Prijović, Dimitris Limnios, Léo Jabá.
Coach: R. Lucescu.

Analysis Basel

The team plays its first match in this edition of the UEFA Champions League with the intention of getting a positive away result. This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 8 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses in away matches, with 25 goals scored and 17 conceded; against 7 wins, 1 draw and 7 losses at their stadium, with 29 goals scored and 26 conceded. In their last match, for the Super League, they got a home loss against St. Gallen by (1‑2). In the last 10 away matches Basel has won 4, tied 4 and lost 2. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 9 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches.

Basel comes for this match after a home defeat against St. Gallen, by 1-2, in a match counting for the Swiss Championship. We remember that the visiting team obtained access to this eliminatory of the Champions League fruit of the 2nd position of the championship of their country. Usually coach Raphael Wicky plays in 4-2-3-1 privileging the ball possession and organized attacks, mainly through the right flank: Stocker is a player with great technique and important in the offensive process. In addition, Ajeti composes the front of attack of the team, being this very competent in finishing. For this match, the coach won’t count on Field, Xhaka, Balanta and Kuzmanovic, all recovering from injury.

Confirmed Lineup: Jonas Omlin, Blás Riveros, Marek Suchý, Éder Balanta, Raoul Petretta, Fabian Frei, Luca Zuffi, Valentin Stocker, Serey Dié, Dimitri Oberlin, Albian Ajeti.
