Prediction PAOK vs Young Boys 2025/2026 – Betting Tips for the Europa League on 06/11/2025

Match outlook: home power versus Swiss resilience

PAOK arrive at Stadio Toumbas with the kind of momentum every coach wants to see. Five straight wins in the club’s recent run, including a thumping 5-0 away victory on 2 November, underline a team in rhythm. The Greek side’s attacking numbers are eye-catching — 81 total shots across recent fixtures, 32 on target — and the home defensive ledger is equally impressive: four clean sheets and zero goals conceded at home in the supplied data. Those figures paint PAOK as a side that can dominate possession and control games at Thessaloníki’s 28,703-capacity venue.

Young Boys bring a contrasting profile. The Swiss visitors have been productive in front of goal in group play (six goals in three matches) and maintain a respectable shots profile, but their recent form is more erratic: draws and mixed results across the last ten outings. Young Boys’ away metrics suggest they can be disciplined on the road, yet they lack the consistent winning run PAOK currently enjoy. Their last domestic outing ended 0-0, which could indicate a cautious approach heading into European fixtures.

Key angles to consider

Bookmakers have made PAOK the clear favourite with home win odds around 1.70, reflecting both the host’s recent form and the home-ground advantage at Stadio Toumbas. Statistically, PAOK’s home defensive record and recent scoring spree make them the sensible choice on paper. Young Boys are not a side to be underestimated — they have the firepower to punish lapses — but their inconsistency and the fact they had a goalless draw in their most recent match suggest they might struggle to overturn a well-drilled, confident PAOK at this venue.

Betting suggestion

Primary pick — 1X2: Back PAOK to win. The home side’s recent form, clean-sheet record at home and the 1.70 market price offer a value-backed, probability-driven play. Confidence: medium-high; consider a measured stake relative to your bankroll.
