THE KEY STATS

- Club Brugge have appeared in eight previous UEFA quarter-finals, winning three of those ties, most recently against Panathinaikos in 1987/88 UEFA Cup (3-2 on agg).
- Club Brugge have won six of their last seven UEFA Europa Conference League matches (L1).
- Club Brugge have lost only one of their last 12 European matches (W9 D2).

- Club Brugge have kept five clean sheets in their previous six UEFA competition matches at home against Greek teams.
- PAOK are through to the UEFA Europa Conference League quarter-finals for the second time in three seasons (2021/22 and 2023/24).
- This is PAOK’s third UEFA competition quarter-final. They lost the previous two, firstly against Milan in the 1973/74 Cup Winners’ Cup and then two seasons ago in the Europa Conference League against Marseille.
- The 34 goals scored by PAOK in UEFA competition this season is the highest total ever for a Greek team.
- PAOK have lost only one of their last 15 UEFA competition matches (W10 D4).
- PAOK are unbeaten in their previous six UEFA competition matches against Belgian teams (W3 D3). This includes a pair of 1-1 draws against Club Brugge in the UEFA Europa League group stage in 2010/11.
- PAOK won their previous two UEFA competition two-legged ties against Belgian teams. A 2-1 aggregate victory against Mechelen in the 1991/92 UEFA Cup first round and a 3-1 win on aggregate against Gent in the 2021/22 UEFA Europa Conference League round of 16.
THE PREDICTION
Nicky Hayen has replaced Ronny Deila in charge of Club Brugge as they continue a general improvement in form. They defeated one of their fellow members of the Belgian ‘Big Three’ by defeating Anderlecht by three goals to one at the weekend. They now face an impressive PAOK Salonika side that, under the management of Razvan Lucescu, remain top-of-the-table, just about, in the Greek Super League. Their focus may well be on that title domestically so Club Brugge, especially at home, could well take advantage in this first-leg.
TIP: CLUB BRUGGE TO WIN
