The people from Volga on a visit in Thessaloniki

In the last round of the group phase in Europa League the Greek team P.A.O.K will be host to Rubin Kazan on Toumba stadium. In their local tournaments both teams are ranked as 5th. In their group, however, P.A.O.K. are right now 1st with 11 points, while the Russians are behind them with only 1 point difference. Tottenham are surprisingly for many fans 3rd, having 7 points, which still gives them the chance to replace Rubin Kazan on the second place. Tottenham are playing today against Shamrock and need a miracle to qualify. They need to get 5 goals difference so that they could have a chance to qualify and Rubin should fail to get a point from the game today.
During the last round PAOK won against Tottenham and this secured their participation in the next phase of the tournament. This was though concidered by many as something normal, because at that time they were competing for their place in the more prestigeous Champions League. In my opinion the game between PAOK and Rubin Kazan will end with a result similar to the one before, which was 2-2. Rubin, however, will be the team that will seek the victory from the game, because it will guarantee them the place in the next phase.
