PAOK host Aberdeen at the Stadio Toumbas in the group stages of the 2023-24 Europa Conference League on Thursday, looking to continue their winning run.
The Greek side have won all three of their games in the competition thus far to claim nine points from a possible nine and sit at the top of Group G.
The White-Blacks beat HJK Helsinki and Aberdeen 3-2 on the road, and on the either side of those wins was a narrow 2-1 defeat of Eintracht Frankfurt at home.
Another victory this week will confirm their place in the knockout stages. PAOK have the momentum, having beaten Olympiacos 4-2 in the Super League Greece last Sunday.
Trending
On the other hand, Aberdeen are winless in their European campaign so far, drawing once and losing twice. The Scottish side lost 2-1 to Frankfurt in their first game before holding Helsinki to a 1-1 draw.
On matchday three, when the Dandies were on course to beat PAOK, the Greek outfit pulled off a spectacular comeback to overturn a two-goal deficit and win 3-2.
As a result, Aberdeen are left in third position with their hopes of progression in jeopardy.
