PAOK and Levski Sofia will go head-to-head in the second leg of their Europa Conference League qualifying tie at the Toumbas Stadium on Thursday.
The hosts will head into the game aiming to overturn their two-goal deficit after suffering a 2-0 defeat in last week’s reverse fixture.
POAK were denied a dream start to their hunt for a place in the Conference League as they fell to a 2-0 loss against Levski Sofia in the first leg of the second qualifying stage.
This followed a fine pre-season campaign where they picked up three wins and one draw from their five friendlies.
While PAOK will be looking to overturn their first-leg deficit, they have managed just one win from their last six competitive games on home turf.
Meanwhile, Levski Sofia head into the game on a fine run of results, claiming two wins from their three competitive games this season.
This followed an unbeaten run in pre-season, where they picked up four wins and one draw from their five friendlies.
Levski Sofia head into Wednesday on a run of five wins and one draw from their last seven away games since the start of April.
PAOK vs Levski Sofia Head-To-Head
This will be the second-ever meeting between the sides. Their first encounter came in last week’s reverse leg when Levski Sofia claimed a comfortable victory.
