THE PAOK will face tonight (21/08/25, 21:45, Live from Newsit.gr) Rijeka In the first away game for the Europa League playoffs, with the aim of a positive result that will turn him as a favorite to qualify for the Tuba rematch.
Following the dramatic victory and qualifying over Wolfsberger, with Madi Kamaras’ goal in the extension, PAOK is a … breath away from the Europa League League, with Rijeka as the last “obstacle”.
The Croats are known to the Thessaloniki team, having met again in the past, with PAOK excluding it in 2021 in the Conference League, with a 2-0 away win and a 1-1 draw in Toumpa. Razvan Lutsescu’s team wants a corresponding positive result in the current “duel” of the two teams to “seal” the qualification in front of his fans.
The Thessaloniki, however, also have a lot of injury problems, as Tyson has been steadily late, and last -minute absences were Dimitris Pelkas and Sorestir. PAOK also has Surill Despontov with a substantial workout, but is waiting for George Yakoumakis’ debut.
The Greek striker is the team’s new big transfer acquisition and is likely to play for the first time with the PAOK jersey in the away game against Rijeka.
Possible eleven in Rijeka – PAOK
Rijeka: Zlomislic, Orests, Maistorovic, Radelic, Devetak, Petrovic, Dantas, Edoit, Frick, Jankovic and Yuric.
