Hajduk vs PAOK Prediction: Will the Greek team be stronger in Croatia?

PAOK has signed Magomed Ozdoyev and will play Croatian Hajduk in the next qualifying round of European Cups. Will the Greek team be stronger in Croatia?

Hajduk

The team kicked off the new season with a match for the Croatian Super Cup against Dinamo Zagreb and failed to win. It was 0:1 - Hajduk was left in the minority at the end of the first half and conceded the decisive goal at the beginning of the second half. But just a few days later, the Whites avenged Dinamo in the first round of the national championship. Hajduk again conceded first but responded twice (2:1). Marko Livaja on 74 minutes and Rokas Pukstas on 90+3 brought their team a significant victory.

In the second round of the national championship and the last game of the season, Hajduk was stronger than Rijeka on their home field. The only goal came from Pukstas, who scored the game's only goal, 1:0.

PAOK

The Greeks have also just started the season and have played only two official matches. Both are European Cup matches. In the second round of the Conference League qualification, PAOK played 0:0 at home with Israeli Beitar, and in the return game, they beat their opponent 4:1 away. Even in the first half, with the score 1:0 Greeks were left in the minority, Douglas Augusto received a straight red card but missed only once, and they scored three times.

The suspended Brazilian Augusto is a center midfield player. He will miss the match against Hajduk due to suspension, so Ozdoyev may debut for the new team if the Russian is announced in time.

Expert Betting Tips

PAOK scored four goals in the match against Beitar and played effectively at the training camp, but in Croatia, they are unlikely to be able to prove themselves in attack. At home, Hajduk has not missed for a long time, managed in the new season to minimally beat strong Rijeka, and the Greeks will probably not allow the Greeks to attack effectively. We bet on the Croatian team playing at home and do not expect many goals.
