We said: PAOK 1-1 Hearts (PAOK to win 3-2 on aggregate)

Another closely-fought contest is to be expected in Thursday's second leg, with the onus on Hearts to improve at both ends of the pitch if they wish to spark a comeback. Although the Jam Tarts will fancy their chances in Greece, PAOK have made a strong start to the new season and we expect the hosts to extend their unbeaten run by claiming at least a draw to advance to the group stage on aggregate.
