PAOK v Schalke 04 predictions & betting tips

The first leg of this Champions League qualifier ended 1-1. Schalke had plenty of chances on 1-0 to cement their Champions League ticket but failed to convert. When you defend as sloppily as Schalke 04 has done so far this season a 1-0 lead is nothing. The Gelsenkirchen outfit learnt that the hard way as Miroslav Stoch scored the equalizer.

Schalke 04 has played one match since the first Champions League qualifier. A game they lost 2-1 away to Hannover. It was quite a game as Schalke had a man sent off within the first quarter of an hour, and one more towards the end. Hannover also saw a man sent off with 25 minutes still to go.

Schalke has no new injury worries to report, that means Huntelaar and Papadopoulos still are out.

PAOK lost 2-0 away to Panaitolikos domestically on Saturday. I’m sure they had Schalke on their mind. Midfielder Kostin Lazar sits out. Other than that the squad should be fit.

Run of play

I expect Schalke to take the game to PAOK. After all the Greek have an away goal. They can afford to sit back and counter against a really shaky Schalke defense. Schalke will need Draxler, Farfan and Szalai to be at their very best.

PAOK v Schalke betting tips

Schalke is the better side of the two, but with all the issues they’ve had I don’t see them as material for any betting tips to be honest. They are underpriced too in the market as far as I can see. I can easily see PAOK score on the counter here, and if they do Schalke might very well implode as they have on several occasions already this season.

I am going for PAOK here. The price is 23/10 (3.30)! To me they did enough away to prove they can defend. At home in front of their own fans against a Schalke side that really lost it at Hannover I think they can pull this off.
