Paok will play for the first leg against Karsiyiaka. Karsiyiaka before a couple a years was the champion of Turkey but nowadays and according to the standings of the local championship seems to be not so strong enough (is two points above the regalation line). Paok at home game is too strong and competitive. Paok on Saturday won quite difficult Trikala. Only Karamanolis is out for the home side (not a significant absence at all). I will bet on the home side due to the following 1) Paok at home games is competitive at home games 2) Karsiyiaka is not so strong 3) Paoks fans create a hot atmosphere 4) Paok has an almost good and quality roster. Margaritis, Katsivelis, Charalambopoulos, Zaras, Koniaris are good greek players. Goss, Krubally, Jones, Jackson are decent foreigners 5) Paok plays better since the beginning of the seazon
