Analysis & Preview
A Super League 1 encounter, Regular Season - 8 sees PAOK travel to Pankritio Stadium to take on OFI. The game is scheduled for Saturday 24 October 2026, 15:00 UTC.
Recent Form
Across all Super League 1 games this season, OFI have gone 5W 1D 4L from 10 outings — a 1.60 PPG return. Last five: L W W L W. Offensively they are averaging 1.60 goals per game, with 1.20 conceded. 4 clean sheets in 10 games (40%) reflects a solid defensive base. OFI have played only a handful of Super League 1 games so far this season, so this record also draws on matches from last season.
OFI at Pankritio Stadium this season: 7W 0D 3L from 10 home games — 2.10 PPG on home soil. At home they are averaging 1.60 goals scored and 1.00 conceded per game. 5 clean sheets from 10 home games (50%) — they are an exceptionally hard side to score against at Pankritio Stadium. At home, both teams have scored in only 20% of games — reinforcing BTTS No as the home-venue-backed angle. Their home PPG of 2.10 is noticeably stronger than their overall 1.60 — OFI are significantly better at Pankritio Stadium than their overall form suggests.
PAOK — All Games: 3W 4D 3L from 10 Super League 1 fixtures this season — 1.30 PPG. Last five: D D W W L. They are scoring at 1.50 per game and conceding 1.40. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings suggests some defensive organisation. Both teams have scored in 70% of their games — a noteworthy BTTS rate that supports the Yes market. PAOK have played only a handful of Super League 1 games so far this season, so this record also draws on matches from last season.
PAOK's form when playing away from home: 2W 5D 3L across 10 road games this term (1.10 PPG). Away from home they average 1.20 goals scored and 1.40 conceded per game. Both teams have scored in 70% of their away matches — a high BTTS rate on the road that directly informs this fixture.
The form comparison is too close to call — 1.60 PPG (OFI) versus 1.30 (PAOK). When the figures are this level, no pick can be reliably derived from recent results alone.
H2H
The previous 10 encounters between these sides heavily favour PAOK, who boast 6 victories compared to 2 for OFI.
The 10 previous encounters between these sides have been high-scoring affairs — 2.8 goals per contest on average. Historical precedent backs the Over 2.5 goals market. The most recent clash, on 18 Jan 2026, ended 0–3 with PAOK winning.
The H2H provides genuine backing for the away side. PAOK have won 6 of 10 previous encounters, and at 2.8 goals per game, the goals market also points upward. The away win and Over 2.5 combination has a historical case worth noting.
In-Play Data
OFI trading profile (35 games, 18 at home): they score before half-time in 89% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 100% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 50% of those occasions; BTTS occurs in 28% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 56% of games (home games).
PAOK trading profile (35 games, 18 at away): they score before half-time in 83% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 50% of the time; they lead at the break 49% of the time; BTTS occurs in 61% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 67% of games (away games); they keep a clean sheet 49% of the time.
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — OFI 46% versus PAOK 46%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (OFI 66% | PAOK 60%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects OFI 1.74 xG and PAOK 0.93 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: OFI attack 1.103 / defence 0.805 | PAOK attack 1.162 / defence 1.065. League average goals — home 1.484 / away 0.998. Data: 29 OFI games / 29 PAOK games used (Blended). A blend of current and prior-season data is applied to stabilise estimates early in the campaign.
Result probabilities: OFI 53% | Draw 30% | PAOK 17%. Fair-value odds: OFI 1.89 | Draw 3.33 | PAOK 5.88. OFI hold a narrow Poisson edge at 53% — the draw (30%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 50% | BTTS probability 53% | Total xG 2.68. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 50%/50% — the total xG of 2.68 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS probability of 53% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
Our Verdict
Poisson rates OFI as the most likely outcome at 53% — moderate model lean. With a 30% draw probability, Draw No Bet on OFI offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win.
On the goals line, Poisson's 2.68 combined xG gives a 50% probability to Over 2.5 — reasonable, supported by H2H averaging 2.8 goals per meeting.
Poisson assigns a 53% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates are neutral: OFI 20% | PAOK 70%.
The Poisson model is drawing on Blended data (29 games minimum) — early-season projections carry additional uncertainty. Weight the live form and odds signals accordingly.

🧮 Model Insight
How the Model Works This Match
Working from OFI's attack rating (1.10) and PAOK's defence rating (1.06), the model arrives at 1.74 expected goals for the home side. The same calculation in reverse, PAOK's attack versus OFI's defence, projects 0.93 expected goals for the visitors.
The sample (29/29 games) mixes this season and last, since the current campaign is still relatively young.
The Exact-Score Picture
Run the expected-goals figures through the full scoreline distribution and 1-1 emerges as the single most likely result, at 12.6%. Close behind: 1-0 (10.5%), 2-0 (10.4%). Those top three scorelines alone account for 34% of the model's total probability mass — a relatively concentrated, predictable distribution for this fixture.
