PAOK Slovan Bratislava betting prediction

After the away loss in the 1st leg, the home team comes to this match with the hard task of having to recover from a 1 goal disadvantage and haven't scored any away goals in the first match. In their last match, for the Super League, they got a home win against Panaitolikos by (2‑1). In the last 10 home matches PAOK has won 8 and tied 2. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches. There is a tendency for goals in their home matches, since 45 of the last 50 have ended with Over 1,5 goals and 34 out of 50 have ended with Over 2,5 goals. In the last 20 home matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 5 of their 14 goals between minutes (31'‑45').

PAOK come to this match motivated after a 2-1 win against Panaitolikos, in a match for the Greek Championship. Note that the Greeks were defeated in the first game against Slovan 1-0.
