PAOK Thessaloniki vs Borac Banja Luka Prediction & Betting Tips - Champions League

 by Joseph King in Champions League Predictions

Greek outfit PAOK take on Bosnian side Borac Banja Luka in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League second qualifying round. Let’s take a closer look at the match statistics and a prediction for this meeting between the Double-headed Eagle of the North and The Red-Blues.

PAOK are back in the Champions League qualifiers for the first time since the 2020-21 season thanks to winning last season’s Greek Super League title. They also put together a strong European run last season as they made the quarter-finals of the UEFA Conference League.

This will mark the first competitive fixture of the 2024-25 season for PAOK with the kick off of the new Super League season still three weeks away. They’ve competed in a few friendly matches as they look to build up match sharpness ahead of this European fixture but results have not been encouraging. PAOK have lost their last four straight friendly matches, with the most recent a 2-1 away loss to Dutch side Vitesse.

For the visitors, this marks only the third time that they are competing in the Champions League qualifiers. Borac had to make it past KF Egnatia in the first round of qualifying, where they would ultimately advance on penalties after a 2-2 aggregate score line.

The Bosnian league champions are also about two weeks away from the start of their domestic campaign. They’ll be hoping to be the more match fit of the two sides following their dramatic triumph in the first round of qualifying.

The winner of this tie will advance to the third round where they will meet either Malmo or KI Klaksvik.

Borac have done well to make it to the second round of the Champions League qualifiers, thus equaling their best ever finish in the competition.
