PAOK have performed here at Stadio Toumbas this season with 9 wins from 13 Super League matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 3 games and lost 1.

No payout for PAOK in their previous match, an away game at Olympiakos Piraeus that ended in defeat 1-3. Konstantelias (midfield) was the top team player in that game with a rating of 7.31/10. Konstantelias hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 4 of 4 times.

It should be added that a peek at the 20 most recent league matches shows that 15 of them qualified as a both teams not to score result (only one or none of the teams scored a goal).

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