In the first leg of the second Champions League qualifying round, PAOK are set to host Borac Banja Luka at Stadio Toumbas on Wednesday.
In Greece’s top flight, the home side finished first in their championship playoff group with 80 points, while the visitors won Bosnia and Herzegovina’s Premier League with 78 points from 33 games.
We say: PAOK 3-1 Borac Banja Luka
Given that Borac Banja Luka struggled to take advantage of a weakened Egnatia Rrogozhine, they could find it difficult once again on Wednesday.
Additionally, PAOK boss Razvan Lucescu will be confident of victory given his side recently won their second title in 2023-24.

In the first game of their two-legged showdown in the second Champions League qualifying round, Ludogorets Razgrad will host Dinamo Minsk at the Huvepharma Arena (Razgrad) on Wednesday.
The hosts progressed from the first round with a 3-2 aggregate win over Dinamo Batumi, while the visitors narrowly defeated Pyunik Yerevan 1-0 on aggregate, thanks to a 90th-minute winner in the second leg.
We say: Ludogorets Razgrad 1-1 Dinamo Minsk
These two sides come into this game in fantastic form in their domestic competitions, while both were also impressive for large spells of their first qualifying round ties.
While Ludogorets have been strong at home in recent European fixtures, the visitors are unbeaten in their last seven away matches, suggesting this game is likely to end in a draw.

Both looking to take the next step towards a place in the league phase of a revamped Champions League, Celje and Slovan Bratislava will lock horns in the first leg of their second-round qualifier on Wednesday night.
The Yellow and Blues progressed from the first round of qualifying after making simple work of Estonian opposition, whilst the Sky Blues eased past a club from North Macedonia.
We say: Celje 1-2 Slovan Bratislava
Although full of confidence following their smashing of Flora in the previous round, Celje have to be viewed as underdogs for this tie as they come against the Slovakian champions.
Slovan Bratislava will be looking to pick up an encouraging result on the road ahead of next week’s second leg, and we feel that the Sky Blues will go into that all-important clash holding a one-goal advantage.
