Match preview: Paok vs WAC

Paok and WAC meet in a European League (Qualification Round 3) clash. Based on our analysis, there are no recent encounters between the teams. It is essential to pay close attention to the home/away dynamics, as Paok has varying results at home and away.

Team analysis: Paok

The home side embarks on their European League journey with the aim of leveraging home advantage to secure a positive outcome. Paok typically performs better at their own ground; in their last 30 games, they recorded 5 wins, 1 draw, and 9 losses as visitors, in contrast to 11 wins, 1 draw, and 3 losses at home. They come into this match following a defeat away to Ajax (2-1). Paok has achieved 7 victories and suffered 3 defeats in their last 10 home matches across all competitions. Their defence has been suspect, having conceded goals in 8 of their last 10 fixtures, although their attack has been consistently potent, scoring at least once in the last 10 matches. In 15 games, they have conceded the first goal 7 times but managed to overturn the situation on only 2 occasions.

Paok arrives at this stage of the European League after finishing 3rd in the Greek Super League 2024/25. Under Rázvan Lucescu, they typically employ a tactical system of 4-3-3, focusing on slower and well-structured transitions primarily through the centre. In this setup, Fedor Chalov, Taison, and Andrija Zivkovic are the key players initiating attacks. However, the coach is likely to miss Kiril Despodov due to injury.

Team analysis: WAC

The visiting team is set to make their debut in this edition of the European League with aspirations of pulling off a surprise against the home team. WAC is generally less influenced by the home advantage, showing similar performance levels whether playing at home or away; over their last 30 matches, they have recorded 8 wins, 5 draws, and 2 losses away, scoring 31 goals while conceding 15. At home, they have managed 11 wins, 1 draw, and 3 losses, with 42 goals scored and 15 conceded. WAC enters this contest after a home loss to Rheindorf Altach (0-2). In their last 10 outings across all competitions, they have won 4, drawn 5, and lost just 1. Their attack has been consistent, managing to score in 9 of those 10 matches. Notably, in 15 games, they have never overturned a deficit in the 4 instances they conceded the first goal.

Wolfsberger AC comes into this fixture following their recent defeat by 0-2 at home to Altach, a match related to the Austrian Bundesliga. It’s worth noting that they reached this phase of the European League after finishing 4th in the Austrian Championship 2024/25. WAC typically employs a tactical formation of 3-5-2, favouring rapid transitions mainly via the flanks. In this setup, Thierno Ballo and Markus Pink are crucial in troubling opposing defences. Coach Dietmar Kühbauer will be without Chibuike Nwaiwu due to an injury.
