PAOK form and stats

On the other hand, in the Europa League, PAOK has performed like this (both home and away): 1 win, 2 draws and 2 losses. PAOK haven’t lost a league-game in 15 attempts regardless of arena, a great achievement. Their last loss was the fixture versus AEK Athens, 161 days ago. Nine out of nine points from the last three home games for PAOK, and the home supporters are ready to scream their lungs out to keep the winning streak alive.
Nothing to worry about in defence for PAOK, as their goalkeeper Zivko Zivkovic has completely shut out the opponents for 239 minutes in the Super League.
PAOK's previous game was a Super League match also played at home, ending 2-0 versus Asteras Tripolis. The home side are looking to build on that result. A Europa League defeat was the result before that one, 1-2 away at Omonia Nicosia.
PAOK made it very difficult for themselves, when Omar El Kaddouri got a red card in the 38th minute. The match was still a draw at this point. But even with this card, PAOK won the match 2-0!
This is expected to be a close game, with PAOK perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with PAOK as a small favourite), we find one game. PAOK has won one of these, drawn zero and lost zero.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for PAOK as they are travelling to their away game against Aris in the Super League. That match is three days after this one.
