Why we picked this for Benfica vs PAOK Thessaloniki

For this Champions League fixture we go with Under 2.5 goals for Benfica vs PAOK Thessaloniki, at 68% confidence. In their last 5 matches, Benfica's games produced 2.2 goals on average, 1 of them over 2.5. PAOK Thessaloniki's games averaged 2.8, with 4 of 5 over the line. Form on its own doesn't settle this one: 5 of the 10 recent games went under 2.5, which is worth keeping in mind before backing Under 2.5.

The two sides haven't met recently, so head-to-head history plays no part in this call. At 68%, the recent numbers lean this way, but not strongly. Final score: 1-1. The pick won.
