In their Champions League debut against Borac Banja Luka, PAOK will be looking to end their horrendous losing streak in the preseason.
Despite their struggles in the warm-up matches, the Black and Whites are still seen as the favorites to win the match on Wednesday.
While the leaders were able to hang onto Taison, Kiril Despodov, and Andrija Zivkovic, the likes of Mady Camara, Tomasz Kedziora, and Konstantinos Thymianis inked permanent terms with the club.
Although they will have a challenge in Thessaloniki, Borac Banja Luka overcame Egnatia on penalties to secure a meeting with PAOK.
The situation for the visiting squad is further complicated by the fact that manager Mladen Zizovic, who was sent off in the match against Egnatia, will have to watch the game from the stands. Anyway, a home victory of any kind other than a routine one would be shocking.
