Fighting for a spot in the last four of the competition, POAK will lock horns with Club Brugge at Stadio Toumbas on Thursday night in the second leg of their Europa Conference League quarter-final.
The Belgium side, who are enduring a disappointing 2023-24 season to date and are under interim management as the season draws to a close, will bring a narrow 1-0 advantage into the second leg of the tie, but whether that will prove enough to hold off an in-form PAOK side remains to be seen.
PAOK Salonika have been really impressive in the 2023/24 campaign, but they were knocked off the top spot in the Greek Super League over the weekend, albeit Razvan Lucescu's side do have a game-in-hand, so their destiny is still very much in their hands.
Here, GOAL brings you everything you need to know about how to watch, including TV channel, streaming details and more.

Club Bruges team news
Club Brugge remain without the services of right-back Denis Odoi, with the former Fulham man set for a spell in the medical room, joining first-choice goalkeeper Simon Mignolet, who has not featured for his side since the loss versus St Truiden.
They will also be unable to call upon the services of Andreas Skov Olsen, who picked up a knock at the beginning of April during the draw versus rivals Cercle Brugge on April 1.
Club's top-scorer Igor Thiago is unavailable here through suspension due to yellow card accumulation, as are defenders Brandon Mechele and Maxim De Cuyper.
Leading the way for Brugge in this season's Conference League, Brazilian starlet Thiago Rodrigues has netted four times during eight matches in the competition, and the 22-year-old will be confident of adding to his impressive tally on Thursday night.
Club Brugge possible XI: Jackers; Sabbe, Ordonez, Mechele, Meijer; Nielsen, Onyedika, Vetlesen; Skoras, Nusa, Rodrigues
| Position | Players |
