• All four of PAOK's previous UEFA Champions League campaigns have ended in the qualifying rounds. Benfica,meanwhile, have won both previous ties against their Greek opponents, and will be eager to return to the group stagehaving lost all six games in finishing bottom of their 2017/18 section.

Previous meetings• Both the clubs' previous ties have come in the UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League, Benfica winning the first of them 4-1 on penalties after a 3-3 aggregate draw – each side having won 2-1 away – in the 1999/2000 second round.

• The teams met again in the 2013/14 round of 32, Benfica winning the first leg 1-0 in Greece and scoring three timesin the final 20 minutes back in Lisbon to wrap up a 4-0 aggregate success.

• Luisão and Eduardo Salvio appeared for Benfica in both legs of the latter tie, with Jardel and Ljubomir Fejsafeaturing in the first game; Panagiotis Glykos and Stelios Kitsiou played in both games for PAOK.

Form guidePAOK• Greek Super League runners-up for the second time in three years in 2017/18, PAOK's most recent UEFAChampions League campaign lasted only one tie – a 3-2 aggregate defeat by Ajax in the 2016/17 third qualifyinground.

• Last season, PAOK beat Olimpik Donetsk in the UEFA Europa League third qualifying round (3-1 aggregate) butwere knocked out in the play-offs on away goals by Östersund of Sweden (3-1 home, 0-2 away).

• PAOK have ousted Basel 5-1 on aggregate (2-1 home, 3-0 away) and Spartak Moskva 3-2 on aggregate (3-2 home,0-0 away) to reach this stage.

• The Greek side have won their last four home European matches – and five of the last six.
