In the 1/4 Champions League qualification match, "PAOK" will host "Borac Banja Luka". The guests are already in the rhythm of the season and score on a regular basis, while "PAOK" has only played friendly matches and has not impressed. The Greeks will be playing their first official match of the season, which could affect their performance. Therefore, it's worth taking a risk on both teams to score.
Prediction for the match between PAOK and Borac Banja Luka: considering the statistics of both teams, I expect a confident victory for PAOK. PAOK has good results - 34 wins in 50 matches, while Borac Banja Luka has 30 wins in 45 matches. PAOK scores an average of 2.3 goals per game, compared to 1.8 for Borac Banja Luka. Furthermore, the statistics favor PAOK in terms of goals conceded (1 against 0.8). Considering the above, I believe that PAOK has all the chances to win this match.
The preseason of PAOK did not impress, but in the Champions League, strength can show differently. The home atmosphere and support of the fans will add confidence. The opponent is less experienced and weaker in terms of gameplay. Taking all of the above into account, I predict a confident win for PAOK with a score of 3-0.
The match between PAOK and Borac Banja Luka, despite the poor form of the Greeks, is likely to end in a victory for PAOK. However, Borac has shown promising results in the preseason preparation and already has a playing rhythm in official matches. While a surprise is not expected, it is possible that the guests can contain the struggling PAOK and not suffer a heavy defeat. A 2-0 scoreline in favor of PAOK is likely, but do not expect a rout.
