Match Preview
Celta Vigo will face PAOK in the Europa League at Estadio de Balaídos on February 26, 2026.
Celta Vigo has been performing well in the Europa League, securing victories in 56% of their matches.
They have also claimed 4 wins in their last 6 home matches played across all leagues.
On the other hand, PAOK has also achieved a 56% win rate this season but has struggled with 3 losses in their last 6 away matches in the Europa League.
In their recent head-to-head meetings in the league, Celta Vigo has emerged victorious in 2 out of 2 matches against PAOK.
Our algorithm predicts a convincing 3-0 win for Celta Vigo.
Celta de Vigo return to Abanca Balaídos holding a narrow 2-1 advantage after a composed first-leg display in Thessaloniki. Iago Aspas opened the scoring before Williot Swedberg added a second, and although PAOK pulled one back late on, the Galicians left Greece with both the lead and the psychological edge.
Momentum appears to be building. Celta followed that European win with a 2-0 La Liga victory over Mallorca, moving into the domestic top six. Claudio Giráldez’s side have now won consecutive matches after previously enduring a five-game winless stretch, and their home form reinforces belief: five wins in their last six competitive outings at Balaídos.
History favours the hosts. Celta have progressed from nine of their ten previous UEFA knockout ties after winning the first leg and have won five successive matches against Greek clubs in Europe, scoring at least twice each time. PAOK, meanwhile, have never won an away European match in Spain (D2 L6), conceding 21 goals across those eight trips.
The Greek side remain in the tie thanks to a 77th-minute goal in the first leg, but they arrive without a win in three matches in all competitions. Their away record in this season’s Europa League is also concerning: just one victory in four league-phase road games, including a 3-1 defeat at this venue in October. Across those four away fixtures, 23 goals were scored, underlining volatility rather than control.
Celta have scored 2+ goals in seven of their last ten home matches in all competitions, though they have kept just one clean sheet in their last 13 European home games. PAOK, for their part, tend to come alive late — 12 of their 18 Europa League goals this season have arrived after half-time.
