All eyes will be on Toumba Stadium when PAOK and Besiktas face each other in the Champions League 2nd qualifying round. Make the best sports bet with Betpawa and win a cool cash prize! PAOK finished the last Greece Super League campaign in second place in the standings, and, as a result, they will have to go through the qualifiers. Abel Fereira’s men are a real force to be reckoned with at home, but keep in mind that Tuesday’s football game will be played behind closed doors.
The Turkish outfit, on the other hand, booked their place in the Champions League qualifiers thanks to four consecutive wins in the season finale. To make a great deal, use the SportPesa platform that offers analytical tools and the best odds. Besiktas must be high on spirits ahead of the trip to Thessaloniki, but beating PAOK on the road is easier said than done. A close encounter is on the cards, and given the rivalry between Greece and Turkey, we are unlikely to see goals galore at Toumba Stadium.
