PAOK v Schalke 04 predictions & betting tips

The first leg of this Champions League qualifier ended 1-1. Schalke had plenty of chances on 1-0 to cement their Champions League ticket but failed to convert. When you defend as sloppily as Schalke 04 has done so far this season a 1-0 lead is nothing. The Gelsenkirchen outfit learnt that the hard way as Miroslav Stoch scored the equalizer.

Schalke 04 has played one match since the first Champions League qualifier. A game they lost 2-1 away to Hannover. It was quite a game as Schalke had a man sent off within the first quarter of an hour, and one more towards the end. Hannover also saw a man sent off with 25 minutes still to go.

Schalke has no new injury worries to report, that means Huntelaar and Papadopoulos still are out.

PAOK lost 2-0 away to Panaitolikos domestically on Saturday. I’m sure they had Schalke on their mind. Midfielder Kostin Lazar sits out. Other than that the squad should be fit.

Run of play

I expect Schalke to take the game to PAOK. After all the Greek have an away goal. They can afford to sit back and counter against a really shaky Schalke defense. Schalke will need Draxler, Farfan and Szalai to be at their very best.

PAOK v Schalke betting tips

Schalke is the better side of the two, but with all the issues they’ve had I don’t see them as material for any betting tips to be honest. They are underpriced too in the market as far as I can see. I can easily see PAOK score on the counter here, and if they do Schalke might very well implode as they have on several occasions already this season.

I am going for PAOK here. The price is 23/10 (3.30)! To me they did enough away to prove they can defend. At home in front of their own fans against a Schalke side that really lost it at Hannover I think they can pull this off.

Celtic – Shakhtyor Karagandy



Celtic will host Shakhtyor Karagandy in the second leg between them from the play-off round of the Champions League. The game will be played at “Celtic Park” in Glasgow on Wednesday evening. In the first match, which was held at “Astana Arena” in Astana, the team from Kazakhstan won with 2:0 and thus got a comfortable advantage before the second leg. So far in the tournament this season Celtic eliminated Cliftonville Belfast (Northern Ireland) and Elfsborg (Sweden), while Shakhtyor Karagandy eliminated BATE Borisov (Belarus) and Skenderbeu (Albania). My opinion is that the Scottish team will succeed to win the second leg. Celtic should to score at least two goals to have chances to qualify for the group stage of the Champions League and I think that the champion of Scotland is capable to overcome Shakhtyor Karagandy. I predict a victory for Celtic with more than one goal. Shakhtyor Karagandy is with 1 win and 1 loss in their visits in the Champions League this season, while Celtic has 2 wins at home.

Prediction: Celtic to win (-1,5) @1,675 bet365
