PAOK (3-4-3) faces Benfica (4-2-3-1) at the Toumba Stadium in Thessaloniki in the qualification match of UEFA Champions League 2020/21 on Tuesday 15 September 2020 at 20:00.
After they ended the previous season at the 2nd place in Greek Super League, PAOK have the opportunity to play the qualification matches for the UEFA Champions League, and achieve a place in it for the next season.
Their task in this match against Portuguese team is quite clear, they simply need to win this one. Their coach, Portuguese Abel Ferreira, believes that his players can make him happy by winning their next match and continue their road, so they can play in Champions League next season. He can count on all of his players, starting from the duo in midfield composed by, Croatian midfielder Josip Misic (5 goals in Greek Super League 2019/20) and his Greek partner Dimitris Limnios (4 goals in Greek Super League 2019/20) to be useful in both defensive and offensive phases and to create some dangerous attempts.
PAOK's main scorer in previous season, Polish forward Karol Świderski (11 goals in Greek Super League 2019/20) will probably be one of the biggest problems for SL Benfica's defenders this Tuesday evening, so SL Benfica's defenders should better keep their eyes open and take care of him.
As we take a look to the away team, we have SL Benfica, who ended previous season of Portuguese Primeira Liga on 2nd place, and now they are looking to achieve a placement in Champions League season 2020/21.
Their task in this match against Greek team is also quite clear, just like their opponents, they simply need to win. There won't be another chance. Their coach Jorge Jesus believes that his players can reach this object.
Portuguese coach will count on all of his players, starting from the prolific duo in midfield composed by Portuguese Rafa Silva (7 goals and 5 assists in Primeira Liga 2019/20) and his partner, also Portuguese, Pizzi (18 goals and and 14 assists in Primeira Liga 2019/20), to create some dangerous attempts, and if it's possible, to score too, since Pizzi was one of the two main scorers in the previous season.
One of PAOK's main problems will surely be Brazilian forward Carlos Vinicius (18 goals and 5 assists in Primeira Liga 2019/20), who was the club's main scorer in combine with his teammate Pizzi in the previous season. PAOK's defenders should better keep their eyes opened on this dangerous scorer if they want to keep the cleen sheet.
Portuguese team will travel in Greece with aim to win and continue their road to achieve a placement in Champions League 2020/21.
This will be the third time these two clubs will face each other in Champions League qualification matches. SL Benfica is leading with one victory, instead of PAOK who has never won. There is also 1 draw. The last time these two clubs have faced each other, SL Benifica won (PAOK 1-4 SL Benfica).

This match should see plenty of goal chances by both sides. Both teams will spend most of their time in the attack side, instead of defending. This will be their only chance to reach a placement in Champions League, so they will surely spend a lot of time by trying to score.
Having said all that about these two teams, I would rather think that both teams will score (BTTS).
So my final PAOK vs Benfica prediction is: BTTS
4-4-2
4-2-3-1

Daniel Garcia is originally from Basque Country, and as a kid who grew up just a few streets from Mendizorrotza Stadium, the choice of Deportivo Alavés as his favourite club is more than obvious. Because of his studies, he moved to Madrid where he graduated in Sports Journalism. Daniel plays football on the weekends, but that does not stop him from watching all La Liga matches. He believes that the outcome of a match can be predicted if all the parameters are analyzed well, including form of the players and weather conditions. Currently he is living in Belgrade, and is in love with a Serbian girl who works as a journalist at one of the famous Sport Channels in Serbia.
