PAOK vs Dinamo Zagreb Predictions

PAOK are super-consistent when it comes to their home games this season, winning 4 of their last 5 Conference League contests. I will back them to fight back and beat Dinamo Zagreb on Thursday.

PAOK have won 4 of their last 5 home matches (Conference League).
Dinamo Zagreb have lost 2 of their last 4 away matches (Conference League).

Head to Head

PAOK have a 2-1 advantage against Dinamo Zagreb in 3 matches.

They last met last week in Croatia, the game being won by Dinamo Zagreb 2-0.

PAOK Form

PAOK’s appearances in the Conference League group stages were outstanding, collecting 16 out of possible 18 points and finishing ahead of Eintracht Frankfurt, Aberdeen and HJK.

Their results at home involved a lot of high-scoring affairs; 2-1 win against Eintracht Frankfurt, 2-2 against Aberdeen and 4-2 against HJK.

The Double Headed Eagles are struggling at the moment though. After last week’s loss in Croatia against Dinamo Zagreb, they suffered a shock 1-0 home defeat against Aris in the Greek Super League and slipped to 2nd position.

PAOK Injuries & Team News

Giannis Michailidis and William Troost-Ekong are injured.

Dinamo Zagreb Form

The Blues claimed well-deserved 2-0 win in the first tie against PAOK, having 1.44-0.37 expected goals and 13-6 shots, Bruno Petkovic being the man of the match scoring a brace.

Dinamo Zagreb caused a massive upset by eliminating Real Betis in the previous Conference League playoff round. They were victorious in Spain 1-0, Bruno Petkovic converting a penalty, while the score in Croatia was 1-1.

Their results were quite inconsistent during the first phase though, collecting 9 points in Group C and ending 2nd behind Viktoria Plzen, ahead of Astana and Ballkani.

Last weekend, Dinamo Zagreb demolished Slaven 5-2 at home and stayed in the title race against Rijeka and Hajduk Split.

Dinamo Zagreb Injuries & Team News

Lukas Kacavenda, Margo Rog, Sadegh Moharrami and Marko Bulat are injured.

Verdict

PAOK Salonika v Dinamo Zagreb

Dinamo Zagreb lost 2 of their 3 away games in the group stages to Ballkani and Plzen, while PAOK claimed 16 out of possible 18 points. I expect the Greek side to bounce back and win in front of their frantic crowd.
