To build a prediction for the PAOK - Benfica match, scheduled for 15 September 2020, several key factors could influence the outcome. PAOK have played 50 matches, in which they won 31 of them, drew 11 times and lost 8 matches. Benfica, having played 50 matches, won 34 times, drew 7 matches and lost 9 defeats. In the league, PAOK average 1.7 goals scored per game and 0.9 conceded. Benfica average 2.3 scored and 1 conceded. These sides last met on 28 August 2018 at PAOK's ground, where the away side proved stronger.
PAOK will try to impose their style of play on the opponent from the very first minutes. Benfica are strong in attack and are unlikely to agree to a positional battle with the possibility of taking the matter to a penalty shootout, which would mean leaving the outcome of the match to chance.
