Match 4 of the Europa League group stage takes place this week with Vidi looking to repeat their excellent performance in Greece two weeks ago.
Vidi returned from Thessoliniki two weeks ago on the back of a very good 2-0 win in the Group stage. PAOK FC are the visitors on Thursday with the game in Budapest kicking off at 18:55pm.
PAOK remain unbeaten in their domestic league and since the first EL game with Vidi have beaten Panathinaikos 2-0. Prijovic and Limnios scored the goals at the Toumba stadium. However, their winning run came to a halt with a draw on the 3rd November.
Atromotis with Hungarians Megyeri and Ugrai forced a 1-1 draw with Roland Ugrai scoring the equaliser in the 73rd minute.
Razvan Lucescu, the manager of PAOK FC said after his sides game with MOL Vidi FC that he wanted to rest several of his players in the Europa League. That was the reason that Prijovic, Wernbloom, Vieirinha, Leo Jaba and Biseswar missed out but have since featured in both of their league games.
The table below shows their starting line-up's for the most recent four matches, which were against Chelsea, Vidi, Panathinaikos and Atromitos.

PAOK will not have any players missing through suspension as they did not pick up any yellow cards against Vidi following their game with BATE. Previously injured Khacheridi was on the subs bench against us but has since not played. Manager Lucescu should have a full squad to choose from.
