PAOK will host Dinamo Zagreb at the Toumba Stadium on Thursday in the second leg of their 2023-24 UEFA Europa Conference League last-16 tie.
The home side have enjoyed a largely solid league campaign and will hope they can find similar luck on the continental stage this week. They were beaten 1-0 by Aris Thessaloniki in their league game on Sunday and perhaps deserved more from the match after dominating possession but failed to fashion any noteworthy chances to get on the scoresheet.
Dinamo Zagreb have also performed well in their domestic assignments this season and will be looking to carry that momentum into the Conference League on Thursday. They thrashed Slaven Belupo 5-2 in their last match, with four different players getting on the scoresheet including Martin Baturina, who came off the bench to score a brace.
The visitors already have a foot in the quarterfinals of the tournament after picking up a 2-0 win in the first-leg clash last week featuring a brace from Croatia international Bruno Petkovic and only need to avoid defeat on Thursday to advance.
