Football Bet of the Day: PAOK look A-OK for goals tonight

Greek football fans
PAOK have built a strong tradition of Over 2.5 Goals

"Seven of Slovan Bratislava's last eight away qualifiers in the Europa League have served up Over 2.5 Goals"

Back Over 2.5 Goals @ 2.021/1 in PAOK v Slovan Bratislava

Tobias Gourlay is on his way to Greece for one of tonight's Europa League qualifiers

PAOK v Slovan Bratislava
Thursday 18:00

In Norway yesterday, Aalesunds scored early and often to deliver our handicap bet with something to spare. Lars Bohinen's hosts eventually beat Ham-Kam 5-2, sending us off to Greece with a spring in our step.

One of tonight's many Europa League qualifiers brings Slovan Bratislava to the home of the Greek champions, PAOK. The Slovakians won the first leg 1-0, but we like the odds-against price on Over 2.5 Goals in the second.

Going back to 2012, PAOK have delivered at least three match goals in 12/16 Champions League and Europa League qualifiers. The hosts have scored at least twice themselves in 12/16 at Toumba Stadium. Slovan Bratislava should not roll over now, however: since 2016, both teams have scored in 6/8 of these matches.

In the previous round, the Slovakians also won the first leg 1-0 at home, before travelling to Dundalk and notching a 3-1 success. Seven of their last eight away qualifiers in the Europa League have now served up Over 2.5 Goals and that's our bet for today.
