Champions League Play Off Tour will face PAOK in Benfica, Estadio da Luz Stadium on Tuesday, August 21st in their first match.
Benfica:
Champions League Preliminary 3. Turdan fold Benfica, representative of the first match of the tournament came out against Fenerbahçe. The first match was played by the home side and the tournament was opened while the grandstands were showing great interest and leaving with 1-0 victory. Benfica is a good catcher after he has scored inside the field, but he can open the gap with counter attacks while he does not offer easy goals to his opponents. 2. Rui Vitoria and students who came away on the road left Fenerbahçe with a score of 1-1, and named it Play Off Turun. Benfica is a very high and highly experienced team. It is shown as a favorite tournament against PAOK with performance this season.
PAOK:
PAOK really deserves the Champions League this season. We had a huge season in the Greek League last season. In the previous round, Basel had 2-0 away with 3-0 and they were surprised. Spartak also came back 2-0 against Moscow and managed to turn the game 3-2, taking advantage of the rematch. In the rematch match, the Greek representative who left off the away goal 0-0 draws off the play away to the play off turan. PAOK, who has drawn a difficult draw and leaves behind strong opponents, will be quite tired of Benfica’s displacement. I think the team of the guest team is weaker than the Benfica, and the fighting power is getting smaller after the qualifying encounters.
I think Benfica will be back in favor of PAOK after taking support from supporters this week.
PREDICTION: Under 2.5 goals @ 1.98
