PAOK Thessaloniki vs FC Basel 1893 Prediction & Betting Tips - Champions League
by Steve Ashfield | in Champions League Predictions
PAOK begin their bid to reach the group stages of the Champions League for the first time. They haven't got a great record at all in this competition and eight games over the past eight years have seen them draw three and lose five. They finished second in the Greek Super League last season getting them into the Champions League qualifers for the first time since the 2016/17 season when they lost in the third qualifying round to Ajax. Last season saw them in the Europa League but they lost in the play-off round.
Basel reached the last sixteen of this competition last season. They finished second in their group behind Manchester United who they beat at home but then went down 5-2 on aggregate to Manchester City, though they did win the away leg 2-1. The Swiss side have only lost two of their last seven Champions League matches and have won their last three away games. They have a lot better record than their opponents and the suggested bet is a double chance on Basel to come away from Greece with either a win or a draw.

Our PAOK Thessaloniki vs FC Basel 1893 Prediction
PAOK face a tough battle to get through to the next qualifying round of the Champions League. They have never made it through to the group stages and are yet to win a game in the tournament since it changed from the European Cup. Basel have an impressive record in the Champions League and last season beat both Manchester United and Manchester City. Back Basel on the double chance to get either a win or draw.
