There's seemingly a noteworthy difference in form between these teams based on table positions so far, with PAOK in front of OFI by 20 points.

Insights:
  • PAOK is in the best form (5-1-0) in Super League
  • OFI have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

OFI have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

PAOK have less rest than OFI in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Greek Cup game only four days ago. This match was also played here at Stadio Toumbas. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, OFI have had more rest.
