Betting Predictions
Over 1.5 Goals: 69.90
This is one of the most favorable bets, suggesting that the match will see at least two goals. PAOK’s offensive capabilities, combined with Rijeka’s counter-attacking threats, make this a likely outcome. Both teams have players capable of breaking down defenses, and with PAOK’s strong support at home, goals are anticipated.
Home Team To Score In 1st Half: 61.00
PAOK has a history of scoring early in matches at home, capitalizing on the energy of their supporters. This bet reflects confidence in PAOK’s ability to put pressure on Rijeka from the outset, potentially leading to an early goal that could set the tone for the rest of the match.
Both Teams Not to Score: 60.20
While this bet might seem counterintuitive given the other predictions, it highlights the defensive capabilities of Rijeka.

This market suggests a cautious approach, anticipating fewer than three goals in total. It reflects the possibility of a tightly contested match where both teams might prioritize defensive stability over risky offensive plays, especially if they are cautious about conceding early.
Away Team Not To Score In 1st Half: 51.90
Rijeka might focus on absorbing pressure in the first half before attempting to exploit spaces left by PAOK’s attacking players. This bet indicates confidence in PAOK’s ability to keep Rijeka scoreless during the initial stages of the game.
