In the first round of the main stage of the Europa League, PAOK will face Maccabi Tel Aviv at Toumba Stadium in Thessaloniki. The teams previously met in Greece in the 2004 Champions League qualifying final, where the hosts lost 1-2. The Double-Headed Eagles of the North overcame two qualification rounds this summer, knocking out Austria’s Wolfsberg (0-0, 1-0 after extra time) and Croatia’s Rijeka (0-1, 5-0). Midfielder Giannis Konstantelias was involved in three goal-scoring plays in those matches. The Israeli side started their European campaign in the Champions League quarterfinal qualifying round but were eliminated by Pafos (1-1, 0-1). Afterward, the Yellow Devils advanced through Europa League qualifying by defeating Ħamrun (2-1, 3-1) and Dynamo Kyiv (3-1, 0-1). Ido Shahar scored once and provided an assist in these games.
