◆ CheckLive verdict
Slight edge — PAOK
PAOK carry the edge here. Anderlecht won the only prior meeting 1-0, yet the Greeks' current form and composure outrank a side already five games unbeaten. CheckLive's read leans to the visitors to leave Brussels with something.

Are Anderlecht in good form before this match?
Anderlecht are unbeaten in five, with four wins and a draw, so their form is solid. PAOK, however, have the sharper recent run and greater momentum heading into the first leg.
