PAOK vs Real Betis prediction

PAOK Salonika come into this one on the back of a 2-0 victory over Olympiacos in the quarter-finals of the Greek Cup and they also sit at the top-of-the-table in the Greek Super League. PAOK have now suffered just one defeat in their last 13 matches across all competitions.

Manuel Pellegrini had been coming under a bit of pressure at Real Betis with many supporters believing last season’s UEFA Europa Conference League runners’ up were stagnating. However, Los Verdiblancos earned themselves a much-needed 2-0 win of high-flying Villarreal side at La Cartuja in La Liga at the weekend.

Betis are an entertaining side and they are unbeaten after six matches of the league phase but this is a tough test against a side themselves that don’t lose too many, so it could be quite an even contest at the Toumba Stadium.
