PAS Giannina vs PAOK Match Preview

PAS Giannina faces PAOK for the 22nd round of the Greek Super League at the neutral ground of Peristeri, Athens.

The hosts come from a big 2-1 win over Panetolikos in the previous round. They found themselves back in the score at the beginning of the game, but they managed to turn things around in the second half and got their second consecutive away win in the league. After this result, PAS Giannina reached a total of 22 points and they are ranked 9th in the table.

The previous matchup against Panathinaikos for the Greek Cup was canceled last Thursday due to bad weather.

PAOK, on the other hand, failed to get a positive result in the previous round against Apollon Smirnis after an exciting 2-2 match. PAOK opened the scoreline at the 29th minute and the visitors equalized at the last 10 minutes of the first half. For the rest of the game, PAOK was leading but Apollon Smirnis scored the second goal on the 88th minute. After this result, PAOK is ranked 4th in the table with a total of 40 points and in case of winning here, they can reach the 2nd spot.

In the previous round of the Greek Cup last Wensday, they prevailed 5-2 over Lamia and qualified at the semi-finals of the competition.

PAS Giannina does not have a problem with the neutral ground as they have registered only 1 win over their 9 home matches. They can pose difficulties to PAOK who want to reach the 2nd spot in the table but struggles a lot in their games due to their defensive problems. Over 2.5 goals to be scored will be my call for this one.
