FC PAOK Thessaloniki vs FC Dynamo Kiev
Greece, UEFA Europa League Qualification, Toumba Stadium, 19:45 CEST

A UEFA Europa League qualification second-leg clash at Toumba Stadium with PAOK holding a 3-2 first-leg advantage over Dynamo Kiev. PAOK arrive under Alessio Lisci (appointed 1 July 2026) with a structured, possession-based tempo-control game that leans on waves of pressure and zonal pressing, and Andrija Zivkovic is the creative spark with 3 assists in his last 5 competitive games. Their overall form reads 3 wins, 4 draws and 3 defeats in the last 10, decent without being spectacular. Dynamo Kiev under Ihor Kostiuk bring vertical, transition-first play with strong squad pace, and their record of 6 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats in the last 10 gives them clear momentum despite the 3-2 first-leg defeat to PAOK. They have been almost perfect away with 2 wins and a 0-0 draw in their last three road trips, so this second leg has all the ingredients of a back-and-forth affair.

🗒️ BetBrain FC PAOK Thessaloniki vs FC Dynamo Kiev betting insights:

✅ PAOK to Win is the cleanest angle here. The hosts hold home advantage at Toumba, arrived off a 3-2 first-leg victory, and Alessio Lisci's structured setup will look to control tempo and press Dynamo Kiev into mistakes. Dynamo lacked sharpness in the 3-2 defeat to PAOK and their transition-first style becomes riskier when they have to chase, making the home angle a strong play at 1.75.

✅ BTTS: Yes fits the fixture profile beautifully. PAOK matches have seen both teams score in 70% of their last 10 games with 4 of their last 5 landing BTTS. Dynamo Kiev's away matches show BTTS in 66.67% of cases and they concede 2.33 goals per away game, so their need to score to keep the tie alive should ensure goals at both ends at 1.77.

✅ Over 2.5 Goals carries genuine value at the price. PAOK matches average 3.4 total goals across their last 10 and Dynamo Kiev sit at 3.7, both well above the line. Dynamo's away fixtures average 5.67 total goals showing they play in wide-open games on the road, and the first leg went 3-2 to underline how open this tie already is at 1.87.
