PAOK vs PSV Eindhoven Prediction
The absence of several key players for PSV could hamper their chances of securing victory in Greece.
Roger Schmidt's PSV side were emphatic in the 4-0 victory on Sunday but they will come up against a vastly superior side compared to their previous opponents, while PAOK's strong home form could also factor in.
Ultimately, both sides may have to share the spoils in a low-scoring draw.
Prediction: PAOK 1-1 PSV Eindhoven
