PAOK have the sharper attacking numbers coming in, and that is the strongest thread running through this preview. Four wins in five and 2.8 goals per match across that spell give them a clear edge, especially at home in Thessaloniki. The betting line has moved the same way, with the home price trimming from 1.81 to 1.69 as kickoff approaches.
Anderlecht's recent record is still competitive, but it is less forceful. Their last five return of 2W 2D 1L is solid enough, yet the broader balance is tighter at 1.6 goals scored and 1.8 conceded. Against a PAOK side scoring more freely, that leaves the visitors needing a cleaner defensive display than their recent average.
The h2h angle will always attract interest, but current form and the odds movement are stronger guides here. For readers weighing betting tips, the simplest read is the home side's scoring trend against an Anderlecht team conceding almost two per game in its latest sample.
PAOK should make home advantage count, with PAOK to win - Expected score: 2-1.
1X2: Home @1.68
Simple tip: PAOK are the clear lean from better recent form, stronger scoring, Anderlecht's weaker defending, and a home price that shortened, which also fits the 2-1 article prediction.
