THESSALONIKI, Greece (Interstat) — PAOK returns to domestic action Saturday to host PAS Giannina in a Super League 2 match, looking to rebound from a disappointing result that snapped a positive run in European competition.

PAOK (4-2-4) is coming off a 1-1 home draw with Norway’s SK Brann in a UEFA Conference League match on Thursday. That result followed a difficult 2-1 league loss to Anagen Karditsas last Saturday. The club’s form has been inconsistent, with a 6-1 defeat to Niki Volos on Nov. 15 highlighting its struggles, though it also boasts a 4-0 victory over Switzerland’s Young Boys on Nov. 6.

PAS Giannina (3-2-5) enters the match on the heels of a 1-0 victory over Makedonikos Foufas last Sunday. That win provided a boost for a side that had managed just one win in its previous nine matches, a stretch that included five losses. Its offense has been stagnant, failing to score in six of its last eleven outings.

The matchup presents a contrast in schedules, with PAOK balancing a heavy European fixture list against Giannina’s sole focus on the domestic league. According to Interstat’s game simulator, the contest is projected to end in a 1-1 draw.

Following this match, PAOK’s demanding schedule continues with a derby against Aris on Wednesday.
