PAOK will host Malmo at the Toumba Stadium on Tuesday in the second leg of their 2024-25 UEFA Champions League third-round qualifying clash. The home side endured a difficult pre-season campaign but have enjoyed an encouraging return to competitive action and will be looking forward to the midweek clash.
They faced Borac in the previous round of the Champions League qualifiers, picking up a 3-2 win over the Bosnian side in their first-leg clash on home turf before winning 1-0 in the second leg to advance to the next round.
Malmo have had mixed results in their league campaign of late and will hope they can find better luck on the continental stage this week. They returned to winning ways last time out with a 1-0 win over Halmstads BK featuring a first-half stunner from Sergio Pena and will take confidence from that this Tuesday.
The White-Blacks and Malmo played out a 2-2 draw in their first-leg clash last week, with the Swedish outfit taking the lead in either half and losing it on both occasions to a resolute PAOK side.
PAOK vs Malmo Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
- Tuesday's game will mark just the second meeting between PAOK and Malmo following their first-leg clash last week.
- The hosts have had three meetings against Swedish opposition in European competitions, winning one of those games, drawing once and losing the other.
- The visitors have had three competitive meetings against Greek opposition, picking up one win, one draw and one loss in that period.
- PAOK have managed just one clean sheet in their last 10 games across all competitions.
PAOK vs Malmo Prediction
PAOK are undefeated in their last eight competitive games, picking up six wins and two draws in that period. They have won their last four competitive games at the Toumba Stadium and will be looking forward to the midweek clash.
Malmo's latest result ended a three-game winless streak and they will aim to build on that this week. They have, however, won just two of their last six games on the road and could see defeat here.
Prediction: PAOK 2-1 Malmo
