What channel is PAOK v Hearts? Is it on TV? How to watch Conference League play-off 2nd leg
The Edinburgh side were defeated 2-1 in the play-off first leg at Tynecastle Park last week after Lawrence Shankland’s early spot-kick opener was quickly cancelled out by POAK scoring a penalty of their own through Stefan Schwab before a long-range strike from Andrija Zivkovic in the 75th minute edged the Greeks in front.
Hearts now face a tall order to progress through the tie with a boisterous atmosphere and humid conditions awaiting them at the Toumba Stadium.

Hearts head coach Frankie McAvoy has every confidence his side can emerge victorious. “We’re prepared for every eventuality," he said. “We have a group that knows what needs to be done.
“We know that we’re facing a really tough opponent, and they showed how good a team they were last week at Tynecastle.vI didn’t think there was a lot in the game at all. The tie is far from dead and finished – and sometimes underdogs can win.”
