Krasnodar Preview – Can Krasnodar extend unbeaten run?
Tuesday night’s hosts, Krasnodar, bring a promising four-match unbeaten run into this 1st leg play-off clash against Greek outfit, PAOK, having drawn with CSKA Moscow and Rostov and then following those up with back-to-back wins against Rotor Volgograd 3-0 away and a resounding 7-2 thrashing of Khimki at home.
Krasnodar hold home advantage once again for this 1st leg at their Stadion FK Krasnodar where the hosts still remain unbeaten to date in the Russian Premier League, while recent results overall at home have been encouraging as Krasnodar have lost just one of their last seven matches in all competitions.
Within this sequence, Krasnodar have scored a total of 18 goals and although they’ve lost their last two previous Champions League ties at home on the trot (against Porto and Olympiakos), midfielder Cabella (3 goals) and forward Berg (4 goals) should give Krasnodar a decent chance here.
PAOK Preview – Can PAOK extend European dream?
PAOK head into this two-legged play-off clash against Russian side, Krasnodar, in reasonably high spirits as the visitors have won their two Champions League qualifiers on the trot and remain unbeaten after their two opening matches in the Greek Super League.
Victories over Turkish club, Besiktas, in the 2nd qualifying round followed by a 2-1 win against Portuguese side, Benfica, have earned PAOK a place in these upcoming play-offs but it should be noted that the two aforementioned qualifying wins were both recorded on home turf at their Stadio Toumbas.
On the domestic front, PAOK have registered a 1-0 win against Larissa and earned a point in a 1-1 draw with Atromitos, but again, both of these results were gained at home; results away from home at Champions League level though have yielded just one win from their nine away ties to date, which also include two defeats and no fewer than six draws, so keep the draw onside here!
