The first of two encounters in the Champions League Play-offs, as the hometeam Krasnodar will try to edge PAOK in their own ballpark.
Krasnodar and PAOK should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
These teams have little in common geographically as PAOK have to travel 2000 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
