PAOK – Rijeka Tip Europa League, Qualification, Playoffs, Second Leg on Thursday, 08/28/25 at 7:30 p.m.
PAOK is one of the Europa League teams that has to chase a deficit at home. Nevertheless, the chances of a complete turnaround are surprisingly good.
Not only does the Bet-at-Home app offer attractive odds for this, but there are also some convincing indications that a home win is definitely possible on Thursday.
When making my PAOK Rijeka prediction, for example, the fact that the Greeks have won 6 of their last 7 home games played a significant role.
My PAOK Rijeka tip: PAOK/PAOK
These are the arguments for my tip:
- PAOK has won 6 of its last 7 home games!
- Rijeka has won only 1 of 7 games against Greek clubs!
- I liked PAOK a little better in the first leg!
PAOK vs. Rijeka AI predictions:
“PAOK will qualify within 90 minutes” is not only a popular tip in the Betano app at odds of around 2.90, but also one of the first suggestions ChatGPT makes. After all, it’s not a far-fetched betting idea!
Another suggestion that the AI assistant made to me as part of its PAOK Rijeka prediction is “Over 2.5 goals” at odds of around 2.35.
I like that too, for two reasons: there were a total of 28 shots in the first leg, and the Greeks will have to play much more aggressively this time around due to their 0-1 deficit.
Predicted chance of winning:
| PAOK Saloniki win |

Rijeka win |
| 62.5% |
26.3% |
11.2% |
“Georgios Giakoumakis scores” at odds of around 2.32 is a goal scorer tip from the AI assistant that I don’t like at all.
The new signing from Mexico made his debut for PAOK against Larissa at the weekend, but failed to make a significant impact in 22 minutes of play.
Personally, I think a goal bet on his teammate Anestis Mythou has a much higher chance of success.
What you need to consider when betting on PAOK vs. Rijeka
