Bergen decides your European season
The first leg ended 1–1, and now it all comes down to Brann Stadion (1) (4). PAOK face Brann in the second leg of the Conference League playoff. Win it, and you are into the league phase. Lose it, and the European campaign ends in late August.
Camara is out for the decider
Madi Camara could not finish training in Bergen, and Lisci has to plan without him (4). Your midfield walks into the biggest match of the season down one starter. No softening that.
Zafeiris: a final, and we must win it
Christos Zafeiris said it straight: "It is a final and we must win it!" He called for the squad to show they are one team, stay united, and fight together for qualification (5). He wants full focus and the best version of the group.
Match No. 170 in Europe
The return leg against Brann is PAOK's 170th European match. The record so far: 169 games, 104 wins, 72 draws, 93 losses (7).
What comes next
After Bergen, the league waits. PAOK opened the Super League with a 4–0 win over Levadiakos on Sunday and sit second on three points. Atromitos away comes on Sunday, then Panathinaikos away on September 6.
