Asteras Tripolis vs PAOK Match Preview

Asteras Tripolis played well against AEK on the road, but unfortunately, they failed to reach victory. In the first half, they created many goal-scoring chances and found the back of the net twice, but then they dropped their pace and conceded two goals. Despite not getting all three points, they maintained their unbeaten streak in the league, actually, their last defeat was back on the 6th of January against the league leaders, Olympiakos. Their previous defeat was in the match against PAOK on the 6th of December, away from home. From what we've seen so far, they are deservedly going to finish in the top-six spots. No missings are reported for Asteras Tripolis here.

In the last five rounds of the league, Asteras Tripolis registered 3 wins and 2 draws.

PAOK, on the other hand, dominated in the previous round, prevailing 4-0 against Lamia at home. They were far better in the pitch and deservedly got all three points against Lamia who played under heavy rotation. They have a chance to show tonight how much they improved in the last few weeks, on a very difficult matchup against strong Asteras Tripolis. Tziolis and Andrija Zivkovic are fully recovered from their injuries but it's still unclear if they will be available for P. Garcia's options here. Crespo, Ingasson, and Swab are today's missings for PAOK.  

The visitors have registered 3 wins, 1 draw, and just 1 defeat in the last five rounds of the league.

Asteras Tripolis is a strong team this season and I think will put a difficult task to PAOK here. The offered odds for PAOK to win don't reflect at all on how good the hosts have been so many weeks. The home side the keep +1,5 Asian Handicap is my call in this one.
