PAOK vs Basel Prediction & Tips
PAOK Thessaloniki, with only one defeat on its last 13 outings, is a scarecrow … The Greek club, 2nd in its league last season, remains on 1 draw against La Gantoise (1-1) and 2 successes against Antwerp (3-1) and De Graafschap (2-1) in their last 3 friendlies. Lucescu’s formation failed only once in their six friendlies, against Nordsjaelland (1-2) on 2 July. For his first official match of the season against FC Basel, PAOK should be ready. The Swiss club does not seem to find its bearings since the protected Wicky chained the bad results since July 10. Indeed, FC Basel, after 3 failures against Wolverhampton (1-2), Aarau (1-4) and Feyenoord (0-5) in its preparation matches, missed his entry for the opening of the championship Switzerland 2018-2019. Xhaka’s team-mates lost to St. Gallen (1-2) on Saturday at St.Jakob-Park on Matchday 1. Nothing is better for the Swiss!
