Full Analysis
Toumba Stadium plays host to PAOK versus Iraklis 1908 in Super League 1, Regular Season - 7. Kick-off: Saturday 17 October 2026 at 15:00 UTC.
Form & Momentum
PAOK have collected 1.60 PPG across 10 Super League 1 outings this season: 4W 4D 2L. Last five: D D D W W. Offensively they are averaging 1.70 goals per game, with 1.10 conceded. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings provides some defensive foundation. Both teams have scored in 60% of their games — a high BTTS rate that carries real weight in the goals markets. 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.
At home at Toumba Stadium, PAOK have gone 7W 3D 0L this season (10 games, 2.40 PPG). They are averaging 2.20 goals per home game — a prolific scoring rate in front of their own fans. 7 clean sheets from 10 home games (70%) — they are an exceptionally hard side to score against at Toumba 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 2.40 is noticeably stronger than their overall 1.60 — PAOK are significantly better at Toumba Stadium than their overall form suggests.
Iraklis 1908's overall Super League 1 record this term: 0W 1D 1L from 2 games (0.50 PPG). Last five: L D. Their scoring rate of 0.50 per game is modest, conceding 2.50 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. Conceding 2.50 per game is a high rate — their defensive vulnerabilities have been exposed regularly this season. Iraklis 1908 have played only a handful of Super League 1 games so far this season, so this record also draws on matches from last season.
Form favours the hosts. PAOK's 1.60 PPG return is 1.10 points per game ahead of Iraklis 1908's 0.50 — a genuine gap in recent results that provides a statistically grounded case for backing the home side.
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects PAOK 2.51 xG and Iraklis 1908 0.61 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: PAOK attack 1.321 / defence 0.798 | Iraklis 1908 attack 0.771 / defence 1.290. League average goals — home 1.474 / away 0.997. PAOK carry an above-average attack strength of 1.321 — their λ of 2.51 reflects genuine attacking quality above the league norm. Iraklis 1908 bring a strong defensive rating of 1.290 — this is suppressing PAOK's projected output below what their attack strength alone would suggest. PAOK's defence rating of 0.798 is below average — the home backline is amplifying the visitor's projected output. Data: 28 PAOK games / 2 Iraklis 1908 games used (Blended). A blend of current and prior-season data is applied to stabilise estimates early in the campaign.
Result probabilities: PAOK 78% | Draw 16% | Iraklis 1908 6%. Fair-value odds: PAOK 1.28 | Draw 6.25 | Iraklis 1908 16.67. The model has a clear lean to PAOK (78%) — a 72pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 60% | BTTS probability 43% | Total xG 3.13. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 60% — the 3.13 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS probability of 43% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
Picks & Verdict
On the Poisson output, PAOK are the pick at 78% — clear model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support.
The Poisson model projects 3.13 xG in total — Over 2.5 at 60% — reasonable confidence, supported by form averaging 2.8 goals per game.
The Poisson model is drawing on Blended data (2 games minimum) — early-season projections carry additional uncertainty. Weight the live form and odds signals accordingly.
