PAOK vs Malmo Prediction and Betting Tips | August 13th 2024
PAOK will host Malmo at the Toumba Stadium on Tuesday in the second leg of their 2024-25 UEFA Champions League third-round qualifying clash. The home side endured a difficult pre-season campaign but have enjoyed an encouraging return to competitive action and will be looking forward to the midweek clash.
They faced Borac in the previous round of the Champions League qualifiers, picking up a 3-2 win over the Bosnian side in their first-leg clash on home turf before winning 1-0 in the second leg to advance to the next round.
Malmo have had mixed results in their league campaign of late and will hope they can find better luck on the continental stage this week. They returned to winning ways last time out with a 1-0 win over Halmstads BK featuring a first-half stunner from Sergio Pena and will take confidence from that this Tuesday.
The White-Blacks and Malmo played out a 2-2 draw in their first-leg clash last week, with the Swedish outfit taking the lead in either half and losing it on both occasions to a resolute PAOK side.

PAOK vs Malmo Prediction
PAOK are undefeated in their last eight competitive games, picking up six wins and two draws in that period. They have won their last four competitive games at the Toumba Stadium and will be looking forward to the midweek clash.
