Panathinaikos
- Panathinaikos have won 5, drawn 4 and lost 1 of their last 10 matches in all competitions
- Trifýlli (The Shamrock) are unbeaten in three home games in all competitions (W1, D2)
- Panathinaikos' last three games have been a 0-2 (aet) home win over FC CSKA 1948, a 2-2 draw with FC Hradec Kralove and a 1-2 (aet) away win over FC Hradec Kralove
PAOK
- PAOK have won 5, drawn 1 and lost 4 of their last 10 in all competitions
- PAOK have only won one of their last three away (W1, L2) and have conceded seven goals on the road during that time
- PAOK's recent three games have been a 4-0 home win over Levadiakos in the Super League 2026/2027, a 3-2 away defeat to SK Brann Bergen in UEFA Conference League Qualification 2026 and a 1-2 away win over PAE APS Atromitos Athens in the Super League 2026/2027
Head-to-Head
- The head-to-head also suggests this could be tight with PAOK winning three and drawing two of the last five meetings in this Derby of the Eternal Friends
- The last meeting finished 2-2 in the Super League Championship Group 2026 at the Apostolos Nikolaidis Stadium
Key Players
-
Notable threats:
- Dimitrios Pelkas is PAOK's main goal threat with three goals in two Super League 2026/2027 games
- Andrija Zivkovic has already recorded two assists in his two Super League 2026/2027 outings and his ability to unlock defences with a pass or a run could be the difference between the two sides this weekend
Betting Insights
- Panathinaikos are the narrow betting pick here at 2.32 but PAOK, who look to have their tails up at 3.2, could easily win this game on the back of one moment of brilliance
- The draw at 3.25 is a tempting price too, as this could be decided by a moment of individual brilliance or a standard dead-ball situation
- The Under 2.5 goals market at 1.66 and Both Teams to Score - No at 1.84 both point to a tight, cagey game rather than a shootout
- Panathinaikos have only conceded four goals in three home matches across all competitions this season, suggesting that their backline is well drilled and can hold firm
Prediction
The markets and recent form point to a tight, cagey game that could be decided by a set-piece or a moment of individual quality
