Fixture Analysis

PAS Giannina welcome Panserraikos to Stadio Zosimades in Super League 1 (matchday 19). Kick-off is Saturday 20 January 2024 at 17:00 UK time.

Recent Form

Across their last 10 games, PAS Giannina have gone 1W 4D 5L — a 0.70 PPG return. Last five: L D L W L. They are averaging 0.70 goals per game and conceding 1.70 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 1 clean sheet from 10 outings (10%).

PAS Giannina at home: 4W 2D 4L from their last 10 home games — 1.40 PPG on home soil. At home they are averaging 1.10 goals scored and 1.20 conceded per game. Their home PPG of 1.40 is noticeably stronger than their overall 0.70 — PAS Giannina are significantly better at home than their overall form suggests.

Looking at their last 10 matches, Panserraikos stand at 2W 3D 5L — 0.90 PPG. Last five: L D L D W. Their scoring rate of 1.00 per game is modest, conceding 1.60 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 1 clean sheet from 10 outings (10%).

On the road, Panserraikos have gone 1W 3D 6L in their last 10 away fixtures (0.60 PPG). Away from home they average 1.00 goals scored and 2.20 conceded per game.

The form comparison is too close to call — 0.70 PPG (PAS Giannina) versus 0.90 (Panserraikos). When the figures are this level, no pick can be reliably derived from recent results alone.

H2H

The H2H picture is flat: the 1 H2H match we hold have produced 0 wins for PAS Giannina, 1 for Panserraikos and 0 draws. Form and model data should carry more weight here. With only 1 H2H match to go on, treat this as a light input.

These two sides have produced goals at a healthy rate, averaging 5.0 per game across the 1 H2H match we hold. That scoring profile supports the Over 2.5 angle. The most recent of those, on 28 Sep 2023, ended PAS Giannina 2–3 Panserraikos — a Panserraikos win.

With the win record balanced, the strongest H2H signal is in the goals market — at 5.0 goals per game, Over 2.5 is the cleaner angle from the head-to-head data.

In-Play Profile

PAS Giannina in-play tendencies (last 18 games, 8 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 62% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 67% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 50% of those occasions; BTTS occurs in 38% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 50% of games (home games); they fail to score in 44% of games.

Panserraikos in-play tendencies (last 18 games, 8 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 62% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 100% of the time; of the 6 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 67%; of the 4 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 50%; BTTS occurs in 25% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 38% of games (away games); they fail to score in 39% of games.

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — PAS Giannina 50% versus Panserraikos 50%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (PAS Giannina 50% | Panserraikos 39%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects PAS Giannina 1.47 xG and Panserraikos 0.90 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: PAS Giannina attack 0.757 / defence 0.932 | Panserraikos attack 0.787 / defence 1.206. League average goals — home 1.610 / away 1.232. PAS Giannina's attack rating of 0.757 is below the league average, which holds their xG down at 1.47. Panserraikos's defence rating of 1.206 (above 1 = concedes more than average) is pushing PAS Giannina's projected output up. Panserraikos's attack rating of 0.787 is below the league average, which holds their xG down at 0.90. Data: built from PAS Giannina's last 44 games and Panserraikos's last 18.

Result probabilities: PAS Giannina 49% | Draw 29% | Panserraikos 22%. Fair-value odds: PAS Giannina 2.04 | Draw 3.43 | Panserraikos 4.59. PAS Giannina hold a narrow Poisson edge at 49% — the draw (29%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 42% | BTTS Yes probability 47% | Total xG 2.37. Under 2.5 has a narrow probability edge at 58% — total xG of 2.37 is below the line but not decisively so. BTTS No at 53% is only a slight lean — the model gives both sides a fair chance of scoring, so No isn't a clear standalone call.

Our Verdict

Poisson rates PAS Giannina as the most likely outcome at 49% — moderate model lean. With a 29% draw probability, Draw No Bet on PAS Giannina offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win.

On the goals line, Poisson's 2.37 combined xG gives a 58% probability to Under 2.5 — a Poisson-only call with no corroboration from form or H2H.

Poisson assigns a 53% probability to BTTS No based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: PAS Giannina 40% (last 10 home games) | Panserraikos 40% (last 10 away games).
