Borac Banja Luka vs PAOK Predictions


PAOK had to work hard last week on home soil to win the match 3-2. They were however a far superior side but allowed two silly goals. This week I expect the visitors to be much better.

Head to Head 


PAOK won 3-2 at home last week. It was the only time these two have previously met.

Borac Banja Luka Form 


Borac Banja Luka were awarded lucky penalty in Greece where they lost 3-2, ending the match with just 35% possession and three shots on target. 

Mladen Zizovic’s side kicked off their UEFA Champions League qualifying campaign with a 1-0 home victory against Egnatia Rrogozhine, Damir Hrelja finding the net in stoppage time.  

They lost the return tie 2-1 in Albania but advanced to the second round after a penalty shootout.  

Borac Banja Luka won the Premijer Liga last season, their third championship in Bosnia-Herzegovina. 

Borac Banja Luka Injury & Team News 


Goalkeeper Nikola Cetkovic is injured. 

PAOK Form 


PAOK deserved more than a 3-2 win in the first tie, having 65% possession and 11-6 shots. Konstantinos Koulierakis scored a brace, William Troost-Ekong also on target in the second half. 

Razvan Lucescu’s side became the Super League champions for the fifth time in club’s history a few months ago, ending the campaign two points ahead of AEK Athens, six points ahead of Olympiakos.  

They started the pre-season with a solid performance and a 2-1 win against AEK Larnaca, but then lost the next three duels against Hibernian 1-0, Union St Gilloise 2-1 and Vitesse 2-1.  

PAOK Injury & Team News 


There are no injured or suspended players for PAOK ahead of this match. 

Verdict

PAOK conceded an absurd penalty in the first tie but still won 3-2. I expect them to demonstrate their quality and superiority over Borac in Banja Luka on Wednesday, with an away win being the best bet.
