Panathinaikós AO vs PAOK
ATHENS, Greece (Interstat) — Panathinaikos AO hosts PAOK on Sunday in a Super League 1 matchup, with both teams seeking to reverse recent uneven form in Greek football’s top flight.
The game at the Olympic Stadium in Athens kicks off at a time to be announced. PAOK enters the contest unbeaten in its last three league outings – a 1-1 draw at AEK Athens on Wednesday, a 1-1 draw at Olympiakos SFP on May 10, and a 3-1 home win over Olympiakos on May 3. However, the Thessaloniki side suffered a 3-0 loss at AEK on April 19 and played to a 0-0 stalemate with Sunday’s opponent on April 5 in the most recent head-to-head meeting.
Panathinaikos has lost three of its last five league matches, including a 1-0 defeat at Olympiakos on Wednesday and a 2-1 loss at AEK on May 10. The Greens’ only victory in the past six league games came March 4, a 4-1 home win over OFI. They have been held scoreless in three of their last four matches.
The teams met twice earlier this season in the league, both ending 0-0. That pattern of low scoring is reflected in Interstat’s game simulator, which projects a 1-1 draw Sunday.
PAOK sits in the upper half of the standings, while Panathinaikos has slipped in recent weeks. Both clubs are battling for European qualification berths. The visitors also face a busy schedule: PAOK is scheduled to host Levski Sofia in a UEFA Europa Conference League match later Sunday, a potential conflict that may force roster rotation.
Panathinaikos will look to its defense, which has kept three clean sheets against PAOK in the last five meetings across all competitions. PAOK’s attack has been inconsistent, scoring only once in its last two away league games.
The match marks the third league meeting between the sides this season, with both searching for a breakthrough in a rivalry that has produced little firepower in 2026.
