Celta Vigo vs PAOK Predictions
Celta’s home edge meets PAOK’s scoring streak on the road
Celta Vigo have already beaten PAOK twice this season and both wins came with goals at both ends. The Spanish side won 3-1 at Balaídos in the league phase and followed that with a 2-1 victory in the first leg, conceding in each match.
That pattern matters here. Celta have shipped five goals across their four home games in the league phase and, across all competitions, they have managed just two home clean sheets in 17 matches this season. The frequency of goals conceded at Balaídos remains consistent and does not move outside that range.
PAOK’s away numbers add weight to the same line. They collected only four points from four league phase away games, yet scored 10 goals across those trips and found the net in every one of them. They also scored in both previous meetings with Celta and now trail 2-1 from the first leg, which fixes their task clearly in this second leg.
PAOK have no wins in eight matches on Spanish soil, losing six of those games, but they have shown they can score away in Europe. Celta, meanwhile, have hit at least twice in five of their last six home games, and that scoring run has been steady in recent weeks.
A third Celta victory over PAOK this season, combined with another goal for the visitors, fits with the 3-1 and 2-1 scorelines already recorded and aligns with the 3.75 quote for Celta Vigo and Both Teams To Score.

Aspas continues to haunt PAOK
Iago Aspas scored twice from the bench in the win over Mallorca at the weekend and remains central to Celta’s attacking output. The 38-year-old has also scored in both previous meetings with PAOK this season.
His role is clear. Even when introduced from the bench, he finds space in decisive areas and maintains a consistent scoring touch. With a potential start in this second leg, his minutes may increase compared to the Mallorca game, while Celta have scored at least twice in five of their last six home matches.
PAOK have conceded in both clashes with Celta and now face another night in Spain, where they have lost six of eight visits without a win. That defensive record away from home frames the individual price.
Aspas scoring in three consecutive matches against PAOK would follow directly from his two earlier goals in this fixture and his weekend brace, and the 2.62 line reflects that repeat pattern.
