Kick-off: 2026-07-30

PAOK holds a clear structural edge: UEFA coefficient 42.25 vs Dynamo Kyiv's 23.5, and Greece ranks 12th in UEFA strength vs Ukraine's 22nd.

PAOK's last-5 form is LWWWD (15 goals for, 8 against across pre-season); Kyiv shows DWDW but with only 6 goals for, 2 against in the same window—lower attacking output and mixed recent results. Home advantage at Toumba Stadium reinforces PAOK's position. Kyiv's draw at Cluj and loss to Twente (Kyiv 0-0 Cluj away, while PAOK beat Larnaca 3-2 home) confirm the gap. Back PAOK at ~1.81.
