PAOK FC vs RC Celta de Vigo Prediction 19 February 2026
Added on 17 February, 2026
On Thursday night, Thessaloniki stages a Europa League Round of 32 clash as PAOK host Celta Vigo.
The Greek side sit comfortably in the Super League’s top three and advanced from their European group with authority, enjoying a strong season overall. Notable results included a 2–0 win over Betis and a 4–2 loss to Lyon — their only defeat of 2026 so far — which still proved enough for a top-24 finish.
Celta Vigo arrive in far shakier form. After a run of four straight victories, the Galicians have slipped into a five-match winless streak that has pushed them down to seventh in La Liga. A 2–2 draw with Espanyol may steady them slightly, as might competitive European outings against Lille (2–1) and Crvena Zvezda (1–1), but consistency has been lacking.
Backed by a loud home crowd at Toumba Stadium, PAOK will sense an opportunity to capitalize on their opponent’s struggles. The hosts’ momentum and atmosphere could prove decisive, making even a draw a realistic and respectable result for the Greek side against a talented but unsettled Spanish team.
