Home and Away: Back Al Ahly to extend lead in top spot

PAOK will be desperate to extend their impressive recent form this afternoon.

Jonno Turner focuses on action in Greece and Egypt as he aims to add to his four winners from six Home and Away selections this week.

There's not a lot to choose from in the footballing calendar today - but that's not to say that there isn't value out there.

We're off to Greece for our penultimate pick of February, as PAOK host Levadiakos at the Toumba Stadium, looking to make the most of home advantage in this first leg of the Greek cup quarter finals.

Giorgios Donis' side currently sit third in the Super League - just one point behind Asteras Tripolis in second - and will be keen to maintain the impressive form which has seen them lost just once in their 15 home outings this campaign.

Two consecutive 3-1 wins on their own patch will have the hosts full of confidence, and 12 goals notched in four at the Toumba underlines just how much attacking quality Donis has to choose from.

PAOK are likely to have practically a full squad available for this clash, with just Jacobo Overjero and Giorgios Georgiadis set to miss out, and no wins in four games on the road will have Donis well aware that his side need to make the most of their home advantage this evening.

Visitors Levadiakos travel to the Toumba Stadium out of form, and haven't won in four games ahead of this one.

That poor run has left the away side sitting seventh in the table, and three losses from their last four away from the Levadia Municipal Stadium.

Giorgios Paraschos' side haven't scored in their last two on the road, and will be desperate to arrest that slump in this tie.

The last time these two sides met, PAOK ran out 1-0 winners - and that makes six consecutive straight wins against Levadiakos at home for Donis' side.

Bet 1: PAOK (HOME) @ 1.54

Over to Egypt for our second tip - and if you fancy a dabble on this one, be quick, as it kicks off at 15.30 UK time - as Al Ahly travel to Haras El Hodood in the Premier League, looking to secure their fourth win from five league games.

The visitors sit top of the division after the season's early exchanges, and will be keen to maintain the impressive form which has seen them unbeaten in six of their last eight away from the Cairo Stadium.

Boss Hossam El-Badry will be keen for his side to show their quality this evening, and put more space between themselves and second placed ENPPI following a 1-0 loss to Smouha in their last one on their travels.

Their hosts go into this one in third place in the table, following two wins from their opening three games, and will be aiming to maintain that form here.

But a 1-0 loss to Telephonaat Beni Suef in their last outing will have knocked confidence down at the Alexandria club, and with Al Ahly having won the last four meetings between these two sides, history doesn't favour the home side either.

Helmi Toulan's side have conceded seven goals in those games, scoring just one - and I think that their opponents will make their superiority known once again here.

Bet 2: Al Ahly (AWAY) @ 2.02
