Kick-off on 13.02.25 22:00.

In the Round of 32 of the Europa League, the first match between PAOK and FCSB will take place at the Toumba Stadium in Thessaloniki. The hosts finished the group stage in 22nd place with ten points, barely holding onto a spot in the top 24. They were helped by a positive goal difference. The visitors secured 11th place with 14 points but missed out on a Round of 16 spot in the final matchday after losing 0-2 to Manchester United.

The opponents have already faced each other in Greece in the previous round last October. Back then, the Double-Headed Eagles of the North took 27 shots but lost to the Red and Blues, who scored in the eighth minute of added time in the first half, winning 1-0. The match was marked by intense emotions and fierce competition — before halftime, the referee had already handed out five yellow cards, and for most of the second half, the Bucharest club played with a numerical disadvantage.

The MEGOGO platform will broadcast the PAOK vs. FCSB match online on February 13, 2025.

In the group stage, the hosts suffered their only home defeat precisely against this opponent. The Black and Whites also drew with Viktoria Plzeň, 2-2, and secured victories over Slavia Prague, 2-0, and Ferencváros, 5-0. Bulgarian midfielder Kiril Despodov, currently sidelined due to injury, contributed to five goal involvements in the previous stage.

FCSB lost only once away, a 0-4 defeat against Rangers, played out a goalless draw with Hoffenheim, and defeated Qarabag 3-2. Injured forward Darius Olaru was involved in four goal-scoring plays, while his attacking partner Daniel Bîrligă found the net three times. Before this season, the Red and Blues had only traveled to Greece for European competitions once—in the second qualifying round of the 1998/99 Champions League, where they faced Panathinaikos and lost 3-6.
