Malmö FF has struggled recently in the Champions League, going winless in their last 12 matches, and they’ve suffered back-to-back losses since the end of the winter break. In contrast, PAOK has been in excellent form, racking up 18 points from their last seven games, which has significantly boosted their confidence.
In their previous Champions League meeting, PAOK dominated Malmö FF, scoring five goals. This trend of high-scoring games has continued for PAOK, with five of their last six matches in the competition featuring over 2.5 goals.
Malmö FF has also seen a similar pattern, with four of their last six Champions League games surpassing this goal threshold, suggesting another potentially high-scoring encounter.
PAOK has had no trouble finding the back of the net in their recent home matches in the Champions League, scoring in each of their last 12 games. Similarly, Malmö FF has seen both teams score in their last five away matches at this level, so a similar scenario is expected in their upcoming clash.
Prediction
PAOK has consistently provided entertaining matches, with ten of their last 11 Champions League home games featuring at least three goals.
Given that six of Malmö FF’s last seven away games in this competition have also seen three or more goals, a high-scoring match seems likely when these two teams meet.
Predicted Score: PAOK 2 : 2 Malmö FF
