PAOK Thessaloniki host Benfica Lisbon at Toumba Stadium on Wednesday, Aug. 29. Here’s all the info you need to watch.
Benfica travel to Greece to face Olympiacos in a battle for Champions league riches. As things stand, the legendary Portuguese team have their backs against the wall needing an away win or a 2-2 tie in order to advance. The odds are not in Benfica’s favor as they have only managed one win in their last nine away games in the Champions League. Benfica will need all of their attacking power from the likes of usual suspects Pizzi and Facundo Fereyra against a pesky PAOK side. American Keaton Parks will be on the roster, though unlikely to feature in this game.
Following the 1-1 away draw in Lisbon, PAOK fancy their chances to enter the Champions League group stages for the first time ever. Substitute Amr Warda gave the Greek side a precious away goal. This time around the Egyptian striker is expected to start. It will be interesting to see how manager Razvan Lucescu approaches this game as the temptation to park the bus may be too great to resist.
