PAOK arrive at this second leg holding a 3-2 lead from the first meeting in Kyiv, needing only to avoid a two-goal defeat to advance. Dynamo Kyiv are forced to attack, which suits a PAOK side that has scored in all 5 of their last 5 matches and conceded in 4 of those same 5.
The numbers back up the high-tempo read. PAOK have hit over 2.5 goals in all 5 of their last 5 outings. Kyiv have managed over 2.5 in 3 of their last 5, and with Kiril Despodov missing for PAOK, their attack still averaged 3.2 goals per game in recent form. Both sides have goals in them.
With Kyiv needing two goals just to level the tie, the game is structurally open. Over 2.5 goals at 1.85 is the call - solid price for a match that has every tactical reason to be end-to-end.
