PAOK and Gent will play at least 180 minutes of football to decide who advances from this Europa Conference League 8th Finals battle. Get ready for the first 90 minutes!
These teams have little in common geographically as Gent have to travel 2400 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for PAOK and Gent.
