PAOK - FC FCSB Betting Tips: Both Teams to Score
Both teams picked up big wins in domestic competitions at the weekend - PAOK beat OFI 5-0 and FCSB beat Sepsi 3-0 - so they clearly have some goal-scoring potential. If you look more closely, PAOK have scored in four of their last five games in all competitions, while FCSB have scored in two of their last three.
