Eintracht coach Dino Toppmöller spoke to reporters at his pre-match press conference about his expectations for the game:
"We expect a strong, aggressive team with a loud crowd behind them. It's going to be a tough game, but also an interesting one, and we'll go into it wanting to win," he said.
Eintracht started the group phase with a 2-1 win over Aberdeen, while PAOK overcame HJK 3-2, making Thursday's game a clash between the top two teams in Group G.
"It's an important game because we're up against a team that's probably fighting with us for the top spot in the group," Toppmöller said.
On a five-game unbeaten streak in all competitions, PAOK are expected to line up in their usual 4-2-3-1 formation.
Toppmöller is likely to stick with his 3-4-2-1 system, with Niels Nkounkou pushing to start on the left side of defense.
