Football – Europe – Europa League Betting Tips

PAOK are another side that have been given a second chance at a tilt at european success as the Greek outfit narrowly lost out to Ajax in the Champions League, but find themselves in the box-seat in this Europa League play-off second leg against Dinamo Tbilisi.

PAOK appeared to have done the hard work in the first leg away at Ajax where they held the Dutch champions to a creditable 1-1 draw, but then lost the second leg at home 2-1 to be sent crashing from the Champions League.

However, they made no mistake away in Georgia last week as they ran out comfortable 3-0 winners and they now have home advantage at their Stadio Toumbas in Thessaloniki this evening as they look to pave their way to the group stages of this competition.

Visitors Dinamo Tbilisi now face a very steep task of overhauling PAOK in Greece on Thursday night following last week’s 3-0 defeat at home in the first leg of this Europa League play-off tie and they make their way to this second leg with just three wins from their last nine matches overall.

It’s also just three wins from their last nine matches overall in the Europa League with two of those wins coming at their Boris Paichadze Dinamo Arena in Tbilisi having beaten KR Reykjavik back in 2011 and more recently, a win over Qabala in July last year.

But five defeats from their last seven matches overall as well as three straight away losses in this competition on the trot with defeats at AEK Athens, Tottenham and Qabala (all to nil), suggest to me that they may well struggle to make any impact against PAOK tonight.
