This Sunday, an essential clash awaits as PAOK prepares to host Olympiacos in a pivotal encounter of the Greece Super League Championship playoff round. Currently occupying second place in the league standings, PAOK faces off against the fourth-placed Olympiacos. The playoff journey for PAOK, although commenced from the top position in the regular season, hasn't unfolded as smoothly as anticipated. With a string of three winless matches comprising two draws and a loss, they relinquished the pole position to AEK Athens.

Nonetheless, in their recent outing, PAOK showcased resilience by rallying from behind to secure a 3-2 victory against Dikefaloss, narrowing the gap to the league leaders to a mere four points and reigniting their aspirations for the title. This triumph halted their five-match winless streak, which featured setbacks against Club Brugge in the Conference League semifinals. While their previous encounter with Olympiacos ended in a 2-1 defeat last month, PAOK emerges as the favored side according to bookmakers for this impending duel.

The last game PAOK played was a home game against AEK Athens at Toumba Stadium. In this Super League match, PAOK won 3-2 thanks to goals from Juan Sastre and Giannis Konstantelias (2).

Olympiacos defeated Aston Villa 2-0 in their most recent Europa Conference League match. At Karaiskakis Stadium, where the game was held, Ayoub El Kaabi scored two goals.

Olympiacos defeated PAOK 2-1 at Karaiskakis Stadium in their most recent meeting.

There have been three draws in the previous ten games. Olympiacos has won five times, while PAOK has triumphed twice.

On the flip side, Olympiacos emerged as a formidable force in the latter stages of the regular season, culminating in a commendable streak of five consecutive victories. Despite stumbling with consecutive defeats at the onset of the playoffs, they swiftly regained momentum, remaining undefeated in their last five matches, which included four wins and a draw. Their recent triumph witnessed a commanding 4-1 victory over Lamia, propelling them to 70 points after 33 games, trailing PAOK and Panathinaikos by a mere point, with a game in hand over the latter.

Furthermore, Olympiacos is set to contend in the Conference League final against Fiorentina on May 29. Away from home in the playoffs, Olympiacos has secured one win, one draw, and suffered one loss, failing to maintain a clean sheet in their last nine outings since mid-December. A victory for Olympiacos in this crucial fixture would elevate them to second place, trailing the league leaders by a mere two points with only two matches remaining in the season.

This match between Olympiacos and PAOK is highly anticipated, with Olympiacos being favored to win, given their impressive track record against PAOK in away matches. In their last five league encounters away from home, Olympiacos has remained undefeated against PAOK. Moreover, Olympiacos enters this clash with an unbeaten streak in their last two away league games.

On the flip side, PAOK has struggled against Olympiacos in their recent league matches, failing to secure a victory in their last two encounters. Additionally, PAOK's performance at home hasn't been stellar either, as they have lost four out of their last seven home games, only managing to win three.

Considering the analysis of both teams' form and their previous meetings, our prediction leans towards an Olympiacos victory away from home, with both teams failing to score. We also anticipate a correct scoreline of 0-1 in favor of Olympiacos. This fixture promises to be a closely contested battle, with both teams separated by just a single point in the standings, suggesting that only a narrow win will distinguish them in this encounter.
