Faliro, Benfica vs PAOK


60/40 ?

Yes. As a betting man - exactly that before either leg has been played. Of course the tie will evolve and the odds change. As it is now before a ball is kicked - 60% chance of Benfica passing - maybe more.

In PAOK's favour is they now have games under their belt and they are very well drilled with plenty of options.  And of course they have the hottest seat in Europe - the Stadio Toumba..

yes, I did not forget the first time I saw Benfica play in the toumba .... incredible! what an atmosphere!

A grave for many teams as the name toumba states.

the paok outside the house how does it behave? Do you think you can keep the tie alive for the second game?

That will be their plan. 100%. To keep the tie alive at all costs for the Toumba. They may draft another CM into the mix for the Estádio da Luz but i doubt it. They have a fairly good shape away from home. They mark space fairly well and allow the opposition some half chances and possession..

Yesterday was a awesome Day for the Greek teams. AEK is the favourite against Vidi (ex Videoton).

Faliro, which are the most influential/dangerous players of this PAOK? Can they create difficulties to Benfica?

By the way, the first hand of the play off will be in Estádio da Luz or Toumba? I guess that the game in Greece will be very hard. Turkish and Greeks supporters can carry a team.

I did a break down in my previous post so i will just copy and paste it and I think the first leg is at the Luz.

I would say PAOK can hurt Benfica if Benfica let them. They have a fair few attacking options.

Pelkas is perhaps their best player. He is everywhere if you watch their European games this summer.  A dynamo of attack. So many times he seems to find himself in one on ones with the opposition keeper from no where. Very fast. There is some magic there.

Prijović holds the line well and attracts defenders who often lose position to mark him.

Canas and Mauricio are clever and streetwise in the middle.

Vieirinha seems to think he is Achilles these days. He must actually believe he is Greek. Fans adore him and he gives everything for PAOK.

Matos is dangerous in a attacking sense.

Biseswar is actually one of my favourite players of PAOK - just because of his languid style. Seems like some rasta has just come off the beach to give everyone a lesson in football. I like the way he plays but he will probably be a sub.

Limnios is an interesting one. The brazilo-greek 20 year old has potential. He improves every game. Useful winger. Could be more.

PAOK keeper can have good or bad games - but he has talent - and of course - he is a monster.

PAOK are head and shoulders above a team like AEK at this point in time.

Didn't a Portuguese team once suffer against these Hungarian idiots? I remember someone mentioning them on here and how ridiculous their name is.

In European Competition PAOK is more dangerous away than at home, usually. 

I am a PAOK supporter.  The only thing that worries me is our defense.  It is pretty solid, but it is prone to have 10-15 minutes of falling asleep and it usually costs us.  Like with Spartak.  Our team was asleep for 10 minutes, and they scored twice.  From that point on though we dominated them.  In the game in Russia we were also dominant, except for the last 10 minutes it got a little worrisome.  We could have easily scored 3-4 goals on them but sometimes the ball just doesn't want to cooperate.

To be honest...I'm kind of glad about AEK's success. They have been through a lot in the last 15 years...getting relegated, financial troubles...

Yea, they have truly risen from the ashes and have a very loyal fanbase. If they win their home game against video, they are in the CL. Add to this their very cool new stadium that will be completed next summer... what a journey. They can finally take their seat again as one if the important clubs of the Mediterranean.

The Hellenic Super League - despite all its problems - has a future. Good infrastructure at the top end with new boutique style stadia and a good tradition in Europe. OSFP, PAOK, AEK and PAO leading the top end and Aris, AEL, Panionios, Atromitos, Asteras, OFI,  Xanthi and possibly Iraklis supporting the middle. Also mavericks coming and going like Volos, Kavala, Panserraikos and perhaps Kalamata and Ergotelis.

How is things going with Panathinaikos.

The law was altered yesterday to allow a non Greek to buy the club. Developments expected very soon. PAO paid off all money owed to all players the last month in preparation for the Thai. The mentalist dimitri giannakopolous is trying to sabotage the deal by putting the amateur club against Alafouzos. PAO also just signed our starlet striker Vergos.
