Preview: PAOK vs Hibernian

Hibernian FC take on PAOK in the second of two pre-season fixtures during our Netherlands training camp.

David Gray's side face the Greek champions at Sportpark Kerkebos on Saturday 6 July, kick-off 3pm BST.

The game comes just three days after the Hibees' victory over German outfit MSV Duisburg, in the middle of an intense week of training ahead of the 2024/25 campaign.

Josh Campbell scored the only goal of the game as Hibs backed up a 5-0 win over Edinburgh City at Meadowbank last weekend.

Recent signings Warren O'Hora and Marvin Ekpiteta made their non-competitive debuts in the MSV Duisburg game, partnering at centre-half for the first time.

New goalkeeper Josef Bursik also featured in the win, as the First Team continue to get important minutes before kicking off the season against Elgin City in the Premier Sports Cup.

Gray has also given opportunities to promising youngsters such as Rudi Molotnikov, Kanayo Megwa and Rory Whittaker over the first two friendlies.

PAOK will provide a big test for the Hibees on Saturday.

Led by experienced coach Razvan Lucescu, they lifted the Super League title this year and boast one of the largest fanbases in Greece.

In Europe, they defeated Heart of Midlothian and Aberdeen on their way to the Quarter-Finals of the Conference League in 2023/24.

Serbia striker Andrija Živković was PAOK's top scorer last season, finding the net on 19 occasions.

Tickets for the game are available to fans who have travelled to the Netherlands. Full details here.

The Club will potentially be able to stream the game live on YouTube, with more details to be released in due course.
