After a 3-2 victory for Greece in the first leg, Kyiv has no choice but to press forward and fight back. Dynamo's personnel problems compound the situation: Vyacheslav Surkis will replace Ruslan Neshcheret in goal due to injury, and Kristian Bilovar is missing from central defense. These are significant losses for the visitors in such a crucial match.
PAOK, on the other hand, can play to the scoreline, using quick counterattacks and a tight defensive line. The Greek club is very strong at home, and their leader, Giannis Konstantelias, already demonstrated his high level of skill in the first leg. Dynamo will likely have more possession, but the visitors could face problems finishing due to the forced lineup changes.
Dynamo will likely have a hard time breaking through the Greeks' organized defense on the road, especially under pressure from the stands. The most likely outcome seems to be a clean sheet or a draw for PAOK.
