Full Analysis

Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium plays host to Olympiakos Piraeus versus PAOK in Super League 1, Regular Season - 24. Kick-off: Sunday 8 March 2026 at 19:00 UTC.

Current Form

Olympiakos Piraeus's overall Super League 1 record this term: 5W 4D 1L from 10 games (1.90 PPG). Last five: W L D W W. They are averaging 1.20 goals per game and conceding 0.40 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. Defensively, conceding just 0.40 per game is an exceptional defensive record — one of the tightest in the division. 6 clean sheets from 10 games (60%) is a standout defensive return — they are keeping their net clean in more than half their matches. Both teams have scored in just 30% of their matches, indicating a tendency toward clean sheets or low-scoring outcomes. This season is still relatively young for Olympiakos Piraeus, so this record blends games from this season and last.

Olympiakos Piraeus's home record at Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium: 8W 1D 1L from 10 Super League 1 appearances (2.50 PPG). They are averaging 2.20 goals per home game — a prolific scoring rate in front of their own fans. 6 clean sheets from 10 home games (60%) — they are an exceptionally hard side to score against at Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium. At home, both teams have scored in only 30% of games — reinforcing BTTS No as the home-venue-backed angle. Their home PPG of 2.50 is noticeably stronger than their overall 1.90 — Olympiakos Piraeus are significantly better at Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium than their overall form suggests.

PAOK have collected 2.10 PPG across 10 Super League 1 outings this season: 6W 3D 1L. Last five: D D D W W. They are scoring at 1.90 per game and conceding 0.50. Defensively, 0.50 goals conceded per game is elite-level — a side this difficult to score against is a real threat to Over 2.5 and BTTS Yes. 6 clean sheets from 10 games (60%) is an exceptional defensive record — they are keeping clean sheets more often than not. Both teams have scored in just 30% of their games, reflecting a regular tendency to keep or record clean sheets. This season is still relatively young for PAOK, so this record blends games from this season and last.

On the road, PAOK have gone 5W 3D 2L from 10 away fixtures this term (1.80 PPG). They are averaging 2.20 goals per away game — strong road scoring that makes them a threat even without home support. 4 clean sheets from 10 away games (40%) shows they are capable of shutting up shop on the road.

A near-identical PPG reading — 1.90 for Olympiakos Piraeus, 2.10 for PAOK — means the form record is uninstructive on result selection. The goals and market sections will carry greater evidential weight.

Head-to-Head

Form and model data should carry more weight here — the historical record is too balanced to provide a directional steer. From 7 meetings: Olympiakos Piraeus 4W, PAOK 3W, 0D.

These two sides have produced goals at a consistent rate historically, averaging 3.6 per game across 7 meetings. That scoring profile provides genuine support for the Over 2.5 angle. The most recent clash, on 5 Oct 2025, ended 1–2 with PAOK winning.

With the win record balanced, the strongest H2H-derived signal is in the goals market. At 3.6 goals per game historically, Over 2.5 is the cleaner angle to extract from the head-to-head data.

Trading

Olympiakos Piraeus half-time and goal-timing data (55 games, 27 at home): they score before half-time in 78% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 79% of the time; they lead at the break 49% of the time; BTTS occurs in 48% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 52% of games (home games); they keep a clean sheet 54% of the time.

PAOK half-time and goal-timing data (55 games, 27 at away): they score before half-time in 82% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 67% of the time; they lead at the break 46% of the time; BTTS occurs in 67% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 70% of games (away games); they keep a clean sheet 44% of the time.

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Olympiakos Piraeus 42% versus PAOK 53%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Olympiakos Piraeus 44% | PAOK 64%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Olympiakos Piraeus 1.33 xG and PAOK 1.07 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: Olympiakos Piraeus attack 1.132 / defence 0.691 | PAOK attack 1.369 / defence 0.862. League average goals — home 1.367 / away 1.136. PAOK have an above-average attack strength of 1.369 — the away xG of 1.07 is driven by genuine attacking quality on the road. Olympiakos Piraeus's defence rating of 0.691 is below average — the home backline is amplifying the visitor's projected output. Data: 49 Olympiakos Piraeus games / 49 PAOK games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Olympiakos Piraeus 42% | Draw 28% | PAOK 30%. Fair-value odds: Olympiakos Piraeus 2.38 | Draw 3.57 | PAOK 3.33. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome exceeds 45%. The draw at 28% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 43% | BTTS probability 49% | Total xG 2.41. Under 2.5 has a narrow probability edge at 57% — total xG of 2.41 is below the line but not decisively so. BTTS probability of 49% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is Olympiakos Piraeus at 42% — marginal model lean. Draw probability of 28% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Olympiakos Piraeus if the outright odds are short. The opposing side holds a 30% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

The Poisson model projects 2.41 xG in total — Under 2.5 at 43% — Poisson-only — limited corroboration confidence — though form averaging only 3.0 goals per game and H2H averaging only 3.6 goals per meeting point in the other direction.

Poisson assigns a 49% probability to BTTS No based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate: Olympiakos Piraeus 30% | PAOK 50% BTTS from recent games.
