Malmo v PAOK Best Bets
In their recent encounters, both Malmö FF and PAOK have demonstrated an impressive attacking flair, suggesting that fans can expect a thrilling matchup in their first meeting.
In the previous round, Malmö triumphed with a commanding 4-1 victory, while PAOK also showcased their prowess by winning 3-2. Given this form, I recommend betting on Over 2.5 goals at odds of 1.8. This bet has been successful in 12 of Malmö’s last 16 matches and 12 of PAOK’s last 18. The lack of familiarity between the two sides could lead to an unpredictable and open game, further enhancing the likelihood of multiple goals.
Additionally, another strong bet is for Malmö to have 6 or more corners at 2.2. The Swedish side is known for generating set pieces, particularly at home. So far this season, they have recorded 6+ corners in 8 of their 9 home matches across league and Champions League qualifiers, achieving double figures on occasion. With both teams eager to secure a strong performance, these bets appear promising.

📊 Malmo Form and Stats
Malmö FF’s recent journey to the second qualifying round of the Champions League culminated in a thrilling conclusion to the Allsvenskan season. In a decisive match against second-placed IF Elfsborg, Malmö secured a vital 1-0 victory, allowing them to clinch the league title on goal difference.
However, since that high point, Malmö has faced some challenges, having lost three of their last five matches. Prior to this dip, their only defeat in the league occurred three months ago. Their most recent match against Klaksvik saw them suffer a surprising loss, but they managed to advance to this round by winning the tie 6-4 on aggregate. This mix of resilience and recent struggles suggests that while Malmö has the potential to perform at a high level, they must address their inconsistency as they prepare to face PAOK in a crucial encounter. The home advantage may play a pivotal role in their performance as they look to regain momentum.
📊 PAOK Form and Stats
PAOK’s journey to the Champions League has been marked by determination and toughness, culminating in a narrow victory in Super League 1, where they finished just two points ahead of their closest rivals.
During the critical stretch of the season, PAOK demonstrated their strength by winning four of their last five matches, including vital clashes against title challengers AEK Athens, Olympiacos, and Panathinaikos.
However, their form since returning from the break has been mixed, as they have played six matches—four of which were pre-season games, resulting in one win and three losses. In contrast, their two Champions League qualification matches yielded a 4-2 aggregate victory, allowing them to advance.
The concern for PAOK lies in their recent match rhythm compared to Malmö, who are in the middle of their competitive season and are likely to be at peak intensity. As they prepare to face Malmö, PAOK will need to quickly find their footing and adapt to the demands of a challenging away match against a well-seasoned opponent.
⚔️ Malmo v PAOK Head-to-Head
Malmö FF and PAOK have never crossed paths in competitive football before, making this upcoming clash a notable encounter for both teams.
This match will mark PAOK’s second confrontation with a Swedish club, with their first being against Östersunds FK in the Europa League qualifiers in 2017, a tie they ultimately lost on away goals.
On the other hand, Malmö have faced a Greek club only once, competing in the Champions League group stage in 2014, where they recorded a home win but fell short in the away leg.
While these historical encounters might not directly influence the outcome of their upcoming match, the fact that Malmö will enjoy the home advantage adds an intriguing dynamic to the fixture. With both teams eager to establish a strong footing in this matchup, the lack of prior meetings may lead to an unpredictable contest as they aim for progression to the playoff rounds.
