Here's all you should be aware of, and some more, about the Ionikos - PAOK fixture!

Ionikos form and stats
0-4-1 (win-draw-lost) are the Super League numbers at home for Ionikos so far this season. The home fans are hungry for more even though Ionikos have been steadily collecting points here at Dimotiko Gipedo Neapolis Nikaias through three straight draws.
It's back home for Ionikos, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating OFI away with the result 2-0. Mantzis (2) found the net in that victory. This was their first victory after ten straight league matches without winning! Mantzis, who plays in attack, was the declared top performer for the team in that fixture, earning a rating of 8.62 (out of 10). Mantzis scored two goals and hit one key pass.
In the match before that, Ionikos hosted Panaitolikos and drew the game 1-1.The manager Spanos will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Asteras Tripolis in only four days.
Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 8 goals have been conceded.
PAOK form and stats
The visitors are W1-D3-L1 on the road this term. That's in the Super League.
PAOK had fun at their own home (Dimotiko Gipedo Neapolis Nikaias) last time out, beating PAS Giannina 2-0. Schwab and Ingason scored. Soares, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.85. Soares served one assist, hit four key passes and won 1 of 4 duels.
A 0-2 defeat away at AEK Athens before that.A new game in only three days for PAOK, the Super League home match versus Volos NFC. Busy days.
