Fixture Analysis
It is a Super League 1 clash, Regular Season - 6 as PAOK welcome Kalamata to Toumba Stadium. Kick-off is set for Saturday 10 October 2026 at 15:00 UTC.
Form Analysis
Looking at all fixtures this season, PAOK stand at 4W 4D 2L from 10 Super League 1 matches — 1.60 PPG. 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.
PAOK's form when playing at home: 7W 3D 0L across 10 games at Toumba Stadium this term (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.
Across all Super League 1 games this season, Kalamata have recorded 0W 0D 2L from 2 outings — 0.00 PPG. Last five: L L. Their scoring rate of 1.00 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. Kalamata 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 carry the stronger recent momentum — 1.60 PPG ahead of their opponents on 1.60 vs 0.00. The form data is a point in their favour, and where the price allows, it is the cleaner directional bet.
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects PAOK 2.26 xG and Kalamata 0.57 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 | Kalamata attack 0.719 / defence 1.162. League average goals — home 1.474 / away 0.997. PAOK carry an above-average attack strength of 1.321 — their λ of 2.26 reflects genuine attacking quality above the league norm. 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 Kalamata games used (Blended). A blend of current and prior-season data is applied to stabilise estimates early in the campaign.
Result probabilities: PAOK 75% | Draw 19% | Kalamata 7%. Fair-value odds: PAOK 1.33 | Draw 5.26 | Kalamata 14.29. The model has a clear lean to PAOK (75%) — a 68pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 54% | BTTS probability 40% | Total xG 2.84. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 54%/46% — the total xG of 2.84 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS probability of 40% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
Our Verdict
Poisson rates PAOK as the most likely outcome at 75% — clear model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 19% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.
The Poisson model projects 2.84 xG in total — Over 2.5 at 54% — reasonable confidence, supported by form averaging 3.0 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.

How the Model Works This Match
The model rates PAOK's attack at 1.32x the league average against Kalamata's defence at 1.16x — combine the two and it projects 2.26 expected goals for the hosts. The same calculation in reverse, Kalamata's attack versus PAOK's defence, projects 0.57 expected goals for the visitors.
The sample (28/2 games) mixes this season and last, since the current campaign is still relatively young.
