On January 22, Toumba will host the 7th round match of the Europa League main round, where PAOK will face Betis. The match will start at 19.45 Kyiv time.

PAOK

The team managed to regain the championship in 2024. However, they could not defend themselves again and fell to third place in the Super League last spring. Now the entire top three can be seen quite clearly and the Thessaloniki representative’s chances of success are about the same as their old rivals Olympiacos and AEK.

At the same time, Razvan Lucescu’s team is also competing in the Europa League. We started the summer there with qualifiers where we eliminated Wolfsberg and Rijeka back to back and we couldn’t score in the first legs with both of them but won the return matches. We already started the main tour poorly; We lost 0:0 against Maccabi Tel Aviv and against Celta. But then we won twice and ended in a draw, so we still have a chance to get into the play-offs, but we need to win and the opponents in January are as difficult as possible.

Betis

The club is stable under current coach Pellegrini. He and his players were constantly participating in European competitions. Last season the Spaniards played in the most modest of them all, the Conference League, but they reached the final there. And they also finished sixth in the Sample. Now they maintain the level there, at least they do not hesitate to repeat the result in 2024/2025.

In the Europa League, the Spaniards calmly and confidently pass the main round. Only Nottingham Forest and Genk shared points with them, resulting in a draw. The remaining matches, including against Lyon, were won. So the Sevilla team will definitely continue to fight for the cup in the spring. However, to skip the preliminary round, you need to guarantee a top 8 finish.

Statistics of personal meetings

Although the clubs frequently qualify for European competitions, they had never faced each other before this Thursday.
