PAOK - Chelsea Prediction, Picks and Tips
Match corresponding to the 1st round of the UEFA Europa League group L between Paok Thessaloniki (Greece) and Chelsea (English) to be played on Thursday at 17:55 in the Stadio Toumbas (Thessaloníki). I raise this pick because of the incredible start of the English team, which, as all betting houses say, is superior. As it is the first game, I will comment on the status of their respective leagues.
Paok occupies the second position with 7 points (3V-0E-0D), with 5 goals in favor and 1 against. He does not have the 9 points because he carries a penalty of 2 points less for the incident last season, when his president took out a pistol and threatened the referee harshly. He came to this competition after being runner-up the previous season and eliminated in the last qualifying round for the Champions League where he was eliminated by Portuguese Benfica before having eliminated Basel and Spartak from Moscow (not without problems). The top scorers of the team are Biseswar with 1 goal (no penalty) and Leo Matos with 1 goal (no penalty).
Chelsea leads the Premier with 15 points (5V-0E-0D), with 14 goals in favor and 4 against. It comes to this competition after being in fifth position last season giving direct access to this competition. Last season, the coach has changed, Antonio Conte has left his post to another Italian Maurizio Sarri (former Naples). They have incorporated young and interesting players like Jorginho, Kepa, Kovacic ... But the best signing is that Eden Hazard has not left. He is a special player, different, versatile ... He has made an excellent World Cup leading his team to third place. They have scored at least 2 goals in the 5 matches played. Maybe there are some rotations but Chelsea has a much better squad. The top scorers of the team are Hazard with 5 goals (2 penalty) that comes from scoring a hattrick and a reborn Pedro with 3 goals (no penalty).
