PAOK vs. Hearts Betting Tips: Tight game expected in Conference League qualifier
On Thursday evening, Hearts travel to Greece to take on PAOK in the second leg of their Europa Conference League playoff match. Here at BettingOdds.com, we’ve put together a case for two tips that we feel represent value in the betting markets.
Heading into the second leg with a one goal advantage, it is no surprise to see that PAOK are the short-priced favourites to advance to the Europa League group stage at just 1/20. Hearts will have been disappointed to lose on home soil after taking the lead seven days ago, but can be backed at 10/1 to qualify.
PAOK vs Hearts Tips
Having seen off Beitar Jerusalem and Hajduk Split in the preceding two qualification rounds, PAOK find themselves on the cusp of the Europa Conference League group stage. This comes after they managed to overturn a deficit and secure victory in the first leg of their playoff encounter with Hearts.
Both sides had scored a penalty before Andrija Zivkovic stroked home the winner in the 75th minute. The Serbian has now scored three goals in his last three appearances after netting in PAOK’s first two domestic games of the new campaign which have been nestled either side of the first leg with Hearts. At the time of writing, Paddy Power and Betfaur are best priced betting sites on this selection with 17/10 on show.
We are expecting another tight game on Thursday with Hearts knowing they have to go here and get the win. Manager Frankie McAvoy has insisted that his side are still in the tie and we think they will make a good go of it.
The hosts look a little short here in the match result market, chalked up at just 4/9. Hearts showed in the first leg that they won’t roll over easily and at 15/4, we are taking a punt on the match finishing in a draw after 90 minutes.
