Analysis PAOK

The home team comes to this stage of the UEFA Champions League (3rd Qualifying Round) after having eliminated Basel with a away win by (0‑3) and a home win by (2‑1) in the previous round. This is a team that, oddly enough, has had better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 14 wins and 1 loss in away matches; against 10 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses at their stadium. In the last 10 home matches PAOK has won 6, tied 2 and lost 2. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored at least one goal in each of the last 10 matches. There is a tendency for goals in their home matches, since 23 of the last 26 have ended with Over 1,5 goals and 20 out of 26 have ended with Over 2,5 goals.

In this first confrontation the team plays at home for the Champions League after surpassing another opponent by the 2nd round of qualification as already mentioned. The team won the only game they played alongside their fans for this competition, beside the fact that demonstrated mainly a good offensive income after scoring two goals and suffering only one. It is worth mentioning that PAOK have sought to be offensive since the beginning of the match in this competition, as proof of this are the goals scored in the competition in virtually all different moments of the match. In this confrontation the coach should opt for a more offensive way of acting, aiming to leave with a positive result in this first duel, however, without neglecting his defensive sector. The highlight of the team within this competition is striker A. Prijović with two goals scored in total.

Confirmed Lineup: Alexandros Paschalakis, Léo Matos, José Ángel Crespo, Fernando Varela, Evgeniy Khacheridi, José Alberto Cañas, Maurício, Dimitris Pelkas, Omar El Kaddouri, Dimitris Limnios, Aleksandar Prijović.
Coach: R. Lucescu.

Analysis Spartak M

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 maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 8 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses in away matches, with 23 goals scored and 19 conceded; against 9 wins, 1 draw and 5 losses at their stadium, with 22 goals scored and 13 conceded. In their last match, for the Premier League, they got an away tie against Lokomotiv Moskva by (0‑0). In the last 10 away matches Spartak Moskva has won 6, tied 2 and lost 2. Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches.

As already mentioned, Spartak Moscow come for their first match in this qualifiers, however, it is important to mention that in their first match for the season 18/19 away from home, they added a goalless draw against Lokomotiv Moscow, that is, demonstrated defensive efficiency and at the same time left to be desired offensively. It is also worth mentioning that in their first two rounds for their championship Spartak Moscow did not lose, that is, conquering a victory and a draw. In this first confrontation, the coach should opt for a more cautious way of acting, however, he should not give up the offensive opportunities, thus acting also offensively through counterattacks. The team's highlight is defender S. Gigot, who scored a goal so far in the season 18/19 Russian Championship.

Confirmed Lineup: Aleksandr Maksimenko, Andrey Eshchenko, Samuel Gigot, Fernando, Roman Zobnin, Ivelin Popov, Aleksandr Lomovitski, Luiz Adriano, Quincy Promes.
