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 Sunday 25 October 2026, 18:00 UTC.
Recent Form
Across all Super League 1 games this season, OFI have gone 4W 1D 5L from 10 outings — a 1.30 PPG return. Last five: W W D L L. Offensively they are averaging 1.70 goals per game, with 1.80 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. 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: 6W 1D 3L from 10 home games — 1.90 PPG on home soil. At home they are averaging 1.70 goals scored and 1.20 conceded per game. 4 home clean sheets from 10 games (40%) — a solid defensive base on their own ground. At home, both teams have scored in only 30% of games — reinforcing BTTS No as the home-venue-backed angle. Their home PPG of 1.90 is noticeably stronger than their overall 1.30 — OFI are significantly better at Pankritio Stadium than their overall form suggests.
PAOK — All Games: 5W 3D 2L from 10 Super League 1 fixtures this season — 1.80 PPG. Last five: W L W W L. Their attacking form is sharp — 2.00 goals per game is a high-output rate that commands respect in the goals markets. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings suggests some defensive organisation. Both teams have scored in 80% of their matches this season — one of the stronger BTTS rates in the division, making Yes a well-evidenced play. 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: 3W 4D 3L across 10 road games this term (1.30 PPG). Away from home they average 1.50 goals scored and 1.50 conceded per game. Both teams have scored in 80% of their away matches — a high BTTS rate on the road that directly informs this fixture. Their away PPG of 1.30 is notably below their overall 1.80 — form away from home has been a clear weakness this season.
Form points away from home here. PAOK's 1.80 PPG return is 0.50 points per game ahead of OFI's 1.30 — the visitors are the form-based selection, and Double Chance is an alternative worth pricing if the outright looks tight.
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 (38 games, 19 at home): they score before half-time in 90% 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 32% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 58% of games (home games).
PAOK trading profile (38 games, 19 at away): they score before half-time in 84% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 50% of the time; they lead at the break 50% of the time; BTTS occurs in 63% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 68% of games (away games); they keep a clean sheet 47% of the time.
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — OFI 47% versus PAOK 47%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (OFI 68% | PAOK 60%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects OFI 1.57 xG and PAOK 1.22 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 1.101 / defence 0.952 | PAOK attack 1.316 / defence 0.989. League average goals — home 1.439 / away 0.976. PAOK have an above-average attack strength of 1.316 — the away xG of 1.22 is driven by genuine attacking quality on the road. Data: 32 OFI games / 32 PAOK games used (CurrentSeason).
Result probabilities: OFI 43% | Draw 30% | PAOK 27%. Fair-value odds: OFI 2.33 | Draw 3.33 | PAOK 3.70. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome exceeds 45%. The draw at 30% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 53% | BTTS probability 59% | Total xG 2.79. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 53%/47% — the total xG of 2.79 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS probability of 59% 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 43% — marginal model lean. Note a divergence: in-form PAOK (1.80 PPG) cuts against the Poisson lean — consider the strength-adjusted model over surface-level form results. 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 2.79 combined xG gives a 53% probability to Over 2.5 — strong, supported by form averaging 3.0 goals per game and H2H averaging 2.8 goals per meeting.
Poisson assigns a 59% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate: OFI 30% | PAOK 80% BTTS from recent games.
