PAOK Thessaloniki vs Shamrock Rovers Prediction & Betting Tips - Europa League
by Devesh Jaganath in Europa League Predictions
PAOK will play host to Shamrock Rovers in the first leg of their Europa League Playoff Round tie on Thursday evening. A spot in the main draw of the 2024-25 Europa League awaits the winner of this tie, while the loser will drop to the Conference League. Here’s our match prediction.
PAOK will be making their first appearance in Europa League qualifying after being knocked out by Malmo in an incredible 11-goal tie (6-5) in the Champions League third qualifying round last week.
The Double-Headed Eagle of the North got their domestic league campaign off to a winning start, beating Panserraikos 3-2 in their opening match of the season last weekend. Their only defeat of the new campaign was to Malmo in extra time in the second leg of their European tie.
The hosts have scored three goals in each of their three home games this season and have not lost on their home patch in regulation time since mid-April.
Meanwhile, Shamrock Rovers were knocked out of Champions League qualifying by Sparta Prague in the second round. After dropping to this competition, they lost their opening leg to Celje in the last round but pulled off a 3-1 win in extra time at home to qualify 3-2 on aggregate.
The Hoops are having a mixed domestic campaign as well, currently in fifth place and trailing the top two teams by eight points. Across all competitions, they have a record of two wins, one draw and three losses in their last six matches.
The visitors failed to win either of their away games in the Champions League qualifying campaign and lost 1-0 to Celje on the road in the last round of this competition.

Our PAOK Thessaloniki vs Shamrock Rovers Prediction
PAOK would have been bitterly disappointed to have bowed out of the Champions League after putting up such an impressive fight against Molde. However, their performance in that tie sees them enter this match as overwhelming favourites.
Shamrock Rovers squeaked through the last round but their away record of late is far from convincing and we feel they may struggle to contain PAOK on their home patch. Therefore, our PAOK vs Shamrock Rovers prediction: Over 2.5!
