Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium plays host to Olympiakos Piraeus versus PAOK in Super League 1, Championship Group - 4. Kick-off: Sunday 10 May 2026 at 17:30 UTC.

Current Form

Olympiakos Piraeus's overall Super League 1 record this term: 4W 3D 3L from 10 games (1.50 PPG). Last five: W D L W L. They are averaging 1.00 goals per game and conceding 0.60 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. Defensively, conceding just 0.60 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 only 20% of their games — a low BTTS rate that suggests clean sheets are a regular occurrence.

Olympiakos Piraeus's home record at Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium: 5W 3D 2L from 10 Super League 1 appearances (1.80 PPG). At home they are averaging 1.20 goals scored and 0.40 conceded per game. 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 20% of games — reinforcing BTTS No as the home-venue-backed angle.

PAOK have collected 1.60 PPG across 10 Super League 1 outings this season: 4W 4D 2L. Last five: W L D L W. Their scoring rate of 1.40 per game is modest, conceding 0.80 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. Defensively, 0.80 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. 5 clean sheets from 10 games (50%) is an exceptional defensive record — they are keeping clean sheets more often than not.

On the road, PAOK have gone 3W 3D 4L from 10 away fixtures this term (1.20 PPG). Away from home they average 1.30 goals scored and 1.30 conceded per game.

A near-identical PPG reading — 1.50 for Olympiakos Piraeus, 1.60 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 9 meetings: Olympiakos Piraeus 4W, PAOK 4W, 1D.

These two sides have produced goals at a consistent rate historically, averaging 3.2 per game across 9 meetings. That scoring profile provides genuine support for the Over 2.5 angle. The most recent clash, on 3 May 2026, ended 1–3 with PAOK winning.

With the win record balanced, the strongest H2H-derived signal is in the goals market. At 3.2 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 (61 games, 30 at home): they score before half-time in 73% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 71% of the time; they lead at the break 48% of the time; BTTS occurs in 43% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 47% of games (home games); they keep a clean sheet 56% of the time.

PAOK half-time and goal-timing data (61 games, 30 at away): they score before half-time in 80% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 59% of the time; BTTS occurs in 63% 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 39% versus PAOK 51%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Olympiakos Piraeus 43% | PAOK 64%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Olympiakos Piraeus 1.13 xG and PAOK 0.90 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 0.954 / defence 0.693 | PAOK attack 1.214 / defence 0.905. League average goals — home 1.305 / away 1.065. PAOK have an above-average attack strength of 1.214 — the away xG of 0.90 is driven by genuine attacking quality on the road. Olympiakos Piraeus's defence rating of 0.693 is below average — the home backline is amplifying the visitor's projected output. Data: 52 Olympiakos Piraeus games / 52 PAOK games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Olympiakos Piraeus 39% | Draw 35% | PAOK 27%. Fair-value odds: Olympiakos Piraeus 2.56 | Draw 2.86 | PAOK 3.70. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome exceeds 45%. The draw at 35% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 33% | BTTS probability 42% | Total xG 2.02. Under 2.5 is the strongly backed market at 67% probability — total xG of 2.02 sits well below the 2.5 threshold. The model is projecting a tight, low-scoring match based on both sides' defensive quality. BTTS probability of 42% 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 39% — marginal model lean. Draw probability of 35% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Olympiakos Piraeus if the outright odds are short.

The Poisson model projects 2.02 xG in total — Under 2.5 at 33% — marginal — conflicting signals confidence, supported by form averaging 2.1 goals per game — though H2H averaging only 3.2 goals per meeting points in the other direction.

Poisson assigns a 42% probability to BTTS No based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate: Olympiakos Piraeus 20% | PAOK 50% BTTS from recent games.
