PAOK form and stats

PAOK's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed PAOK collect 26 points from their 13 away matches in the Super League. 8 victories and 2 draws have created these points (and only 3 defeats). Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in PAOK's last three away games as they have all been lost.

The attacking players of PAOK have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 260 minutes.

PAOK's previous game was their home loss versus Aris (0-1).

Preceding that game, the 0-1 loss visiting PAS Giannina's place.

PAOK are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is three wins, one draw and two defeats. From a total of six matches.

A quick return to home after this game, as PAOK are hosting Panathinaikos in the Super League only three days away.

PAOK are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 25 times in 13 away games so far. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. PAOK are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 11 times in 13 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
