12-1-0 is the performance here at Stadio Georgios Karaiskáki so far in the Super League, giving Olympiakos Piraeus a total of 37 from their 13 games here. Outstanding results! Olympiakos has won so many consecutive home games (five in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Stadio Georgios Karaiskáki. We remember; it was Aris.

Before that, Olympiakos Piraeus played out a draw 1-1 when visiting Aris.

The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Olympiakos Piraeus matches with similar probabilities have ended with two wins, one draw and one defeat (from four games).

The manager P. da Mota Vieira Martins will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Panathinaikos in only four days.

Olympiakos are showing their attacking force in their league home games this season, scoring more than 2,5 goals per game on average (35 goals in 13 games). Defensively Olympiakos have been outstanding, conceding less than half a goal on average per home game in the league (3 in 13 games). For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

PAOK form and stats

The visitors are W5-D3-L5 on the road this term. That's in the Super League. Winning streaks in away matches are not that common, but PAOK are close to a proper streak after winning their two previous away games.

Before that one, a nice away victory 2-1 at AEK Athens.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and PAOK playing away, we found three games. Results were one away win, one draw and one home win.

After this away game PAOK return home for a Super League game against Asteras Tripolis. That game is only four sleeps after this.

The visiting PAOK have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 19 goals from 13 games. As opposed to that, PAOK have seen the ball go into their own net 15 times on the road.
