Borac Banja Luka vs PAOK Thessaloniki Prediction & Betting Tips - Champions League
by Devesh Jaganath in Champions League Predictions
After a thrilling first leg, Borac Banja Luka and PAOK will lock horns again this week in the second leg of their Champions League second qualifying round tie on Wednesday night. The Double-Headed Eagle of the North leads the Red and Blues 3-2 heading into this match. Let’s jump into the prediction.
Borac put up a solid fight in their first match of Champions League qualifying, keeping themselves in the tie and still in with a shot of meeting Malmo or KI Klaksvík in round three.
They fought their way back from a goal down twice last week, with Sebastian Herrera netting the first equaliser and Enver Kulasin getting the second, but they were unable to find a third.
That result sees them enter this match with just a one-goal deficit, which will excite them given their record here at the Gradski Stadion. In their last eight home matches in all competitions, the Red and Blues have won seven times and conceded just one defeat which came against Zrinjski.
Meanwhile, Konstantinos Koulierakis bagged a brace for PAOK in the first leg but saw his goals cancelled out before William Troost-Ekong found the winner for the Thessaloniki-based club early in the second half.
The Double-Headed Eagle of the North are now on track to reach the third round of qualifying for the third time in succession but have never managed to reach the main draw in nine previous attempts.
With last week’s result, PAOK are now on a five-match winning streak and unbeaten in their last six competitive matches but have only won one of their last five games on the road.

Our Borac Banja Luka vs PAOK Thessaloniki Prediction
The first leg proved to be a very close-run affair between these two sides, with both teams creating a plethora of chances that could have resulted in even more goals than the five that were delivered.
With Borac now needing at least one goal to level the tie, we should see them attacking from the off here, and if they score, PAOK will have to respond. Thus, we are expecting a few more goals at both ends in this one. Our Borac Banja Luka vs PAOK prediction: Both teams to score!
