Preview: PAOK vs. Ferencvaros - prediction, team news, lineups
Dec 11, 2024
PAOK aim to move into the Europa League qualification playoff spots when they host Ferencvaros in Thursday's matchday six encounter at Toumba Stadium.
The 27th-placed Greek giants are three places and a sole point outside the playoff spots but they must overcome an opponent on a three-match winning run in Europe's second-tier club competition.
Match preview
Although PAOK have had a wretched Europa League campaign, Dikefalos tou Vorra notched their first win against Latvian side RFS on matchday five, leaving Razvan Lucescu's men just outside the playoff places.
That triumph ended an extended six-match run without success in European competition, and the Greek side aim for consecutive wins on the continent for the first time since December 2023.
Aspromavri have four points from an available 15, meaning maximum points cannot take them into the league's top eight, with Rangers (10 points) six points ahead in the table, but they could rise into the knockout phase playoff spots with several teams two points clear (Roma and Besiktas) or a point above them (Porto and Union Saint-Gilloise).
However, the White-Blacks must end a three-match winless sequence against Hungarian opposition, playing out two draws with Debrecen in the 2003-04 UEFA Cup and suffering losses to Fehervar in the 2018-19 Europa League.
