What the data says
- Home advantage and form favour Olympiacos. Five league wins in a row, with clean sheets in 4 of those 5 games. On 11/10 they beat current leaders Panathinaikos 1-0.
- PAOK score, but concede. In each of their last 5 games both teams scored and there were at least 3 goals. They already have 3 defeats, against just one each for Olympiacos and Panathinaikos.
- Two opposite profiles. Olympiacos play tighter games: only 2 of their last 5 had 3 goals or more. PAOK play open games. Who sets the tempo is the key to the derby.
The trend: on this data Olympiacos start as favourites, but nothing is certain. A derby is often decided by one chance, a red card or a set piece. The exact 1X2 percentages and the match analysis with the latest team news are calculated in the app.
What to check before kick-off
- The official line-ups, announced shortly before the game.
- Absences and suspensions announced by both clubs.
- The result of Iraklis vs Panathinaikos the same day, which changes the pressure at the top.
