Granada and PAOK get a break from their league challenge to fight for a possible trophy in this Europa League Group Stage fixture.

There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a La Liga match only four days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Getafe.

These teams have little in common geographically as PAOK have to travel 3400 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Granada form and stats

Perfect La Liga season at home so far for Granada 3 wins from 3 appearances. This match is a Europa League match, and the hometeam has the total statistics 4 wins, 0 draws and 0 losses in this competition. Granada has won so many consecutive home games (four in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Estadio Nuevo Los Cármenes. We remember; it was Real Madrid.

Granada are confident in defense, having played 222 minutes without conceding a goal in the league.

It's back home for Granada, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Getafe away with the result 1-0. Ángel Montoro found the net in that victory. In the game before, an away victory in the Europa League match versus PSV with a 2-1 scoreline.

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Granada, as the La Liga home game vs Levante is only three days away.

A decent goal production from Granada in their home games so far, with 5 goals from 3 league matches. Defensively Granada have been outstanding, conceding less than half a goal on average per home game in the league (1 in 3 games). For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

PAOK form and stats

Last season their Europa League adventure ended in the play-offs.

PAOK are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Super League, having played 2 games and collected 2 points (0 wins, 2 draws and 0 losses). In general it has been a productive period now for PAOK as they haven't lost any of their last ten games. PAOK are enjoying a nice run from their away games now, having played nine in a row without losing.

PAOK's last game was the home draw against Omonia Nicosia (1-1). Ahead of that match was the Super League away draw versus AEK Athens that ended 1-1.

PAOK has another fixture away, a Super League game, against Panaitolikos in just three days. A tough schedule for the visitors!

It's early days yet, but PAOK has scored 1 and conceded 1 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).

The UEFA Europa League, abbreviated as UEL and commonly referred to as just the Europa League, is an annual football club competition organised by UEFA. It is the second-tier competition for football clubs in Europa, beneath the UEFA Champions League in value and importance. Teams qualify through their performance in their national leagues and cup competitions. Some teams qualify from the Champions League; more precisely the teams who are knocked out in the playoff qualifying round and the third-place finishers of the group stage. The winner of the Europa League qualifies for the Champions League in their next competitive season.
