Sit down for a show! The starring heroes are Panathinaikos and PAOK, a win is the target and 1 1/2 hours the length.

Insights:
  • Panathinaikos have the fewest conceded goals (7) in Super League
  • PAOK have scored at least twice as many goals as they have conceded.

It's no vacation for neither Panathinaikos nor PAOK as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Panathinaikos form and stats

Panathinaikos have been very solid at home in the Super League so far, with 23 points collected from 9 matches (7-2-0). This has contributed greatly to their 1st position in the table.

The supporters are hoping that Panathinaikos will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 0-2 away defeat in the Greek Cup fixture against PAOK.

A strong away win before that one, visiting PAS Giannina and winning 1-0.

Low-scoring affair? In this club's last 12 league matches, 11 have produced less than three goals (under 2.5).

The match schedule is unforgiving for Panathinaikos as they have a new game in only one day, a Greek Cup match thankfully also at home. PAOK are visiting.

The Panathinaikos fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 13 in 9 matches. Defensively Panathinaikos have been outstanding, conceding less than half a goal on average per home game in the league (3 in 9 games). For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above. It's worth mentioning that 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.

PAOK form and stats

Playing away, PAOK have won 4 games, drawn 4 and suffered 1 defeat in the Super League this season.

Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. PAOK goalkeeper Dominik Kotarski is eager to challenge this, with his 289 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.

The regulars enjoyed PAOK's previous match versus Panathinaikos, a Greek Cup win (2-0) played at home.

A draw for PAOK before that, at their own venue hosting OFI (0-0).

We have checked recent matches where PAOK have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 6 games were 4 victories, 1 draw and 1 defeat.

Highlight this: 8 of the last 10 league fixtures involving this club have ended with only one (or no) side scoring (Both Teams to Score NO in sports betting terms).

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only one day as another away game awaits: The Greek Cup trip to Panathinaikos.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far PAOK have scored 13 goals in 9 league games away. It's not easy to score on PAOK as they have only conceded 6 goals from these away games.

Head 2 Head

PAOK - Panathinaikos 1-2 was the scoreline in these contenders' last head to head fixture, earlier this season. As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's five Panathinaikos victories, one draw and four PAOK wins. Over/under statistics; six of these games ended with three goals or more, four matches with two goals or less.
