PAOK (home team)
- PAOK Thessaloniki are the clear favorites here at 1.17 and we're going to stick with them, albeit with some insurance against the draw that's priced at 7.0.
- The Thessaloniki giants are flying under new boss Alessio Lisci, who has overseen a complete change in the approach of the team.
-
It's no surprise then that PAOK come into this Monday's contest on the back of a three-game winning streak, which includes two away victories against Panetolikos (SL) and Atromitos (Cup).
- Panetolikos (SL)
- Atromitos (Cup)
Kalamata (away team)
- Panagiotis Christofileas' Kalamata have been in mixed form in their first five games of the Super League 2026/2027 campaign (W1, D3, L1) and look unlikely to pose too much of a threat here.
- Kalamata are yet to win an away game in the Super League 2026-2027 after two attempts (D1, L1).
- The Black Storm can rely on a more solid and adaptable structure than most, but it may not be enough to keep up with PAOK's pressing tempo.
Head-to-Head
- PAOK have won their last 2 matches against Kalamata.
- PAOK have won their two Super League 2026-2027 home games, keeping two shutouts in the process.
Key Players
- Dimitrios Pelkas is PAOK's main scorer in the Super League 2026/2027 with three goals in five appearances, while Cherif Ndiaye has also contributed to the cause with three of PAOK's eight goals across the last five matches.
- Erik Hamza has scored two of Kalamata's goals so far, but with three assists in five matches, Ahmad Mendes Moreira is creating most of the danger.
- Jovanny Bolivar has been in good nick for Kalamata, scoring three of their six goals across the last five, so an alternative sharp play on the game could be PAOK to win to nil, but the 1.64 in the both teams to score - No market is more than good enough for us.
Betting Insights
- PAOK Thessaloniki are the clear favorites here at 1.17 and we're going to stick with them, albeit with some insurance against the draw that's priced at 7.0.
- The market also offers the both teams to score - No option at 1.64, which reflects confidence in PAOK's defence and recent home shutouts.
Prediction
- This has the feel of a controlled home win rather than a blowout, but Kalamata will be coming into this game after a 3-1 SL home win over Volos NFC, a 1-1 Cup draw with AE Larissa and a 0-1 SL loss at home to Panathinaikos, so they can be resilient.
- The home advantage should play a part here and we can't see Kalamata getting past a PAOK defence that has shut out both of their home opponents this term.
