Panetolikos

WDLWLL

Panetolikos won’t want a repeat of their last result here following the 1-0 Super League loss in their previous game against Volos.

In that game, Panetolikos had 43% possession and 14 shots on goal with 4 on target. At the other end, Volos got 9 attempts on goal with 3 on target. David Martínez (66') scored for Volos.

An interesting trait of recent Panetolikos games is seeing a zero in the scoreline.

From their previous six matches leading up to this one, in as many as 5 of them a wager on BTTS would've been a loser. Still, we’ll just have to find out whether that trend shall be replicated here in this game.

A look at their previous results shows us that Panetolikos:

• are winless against PAOK in their last 21 league games. What a terrible run without a win that has been.
• have not won at home in their last 2 league games.

PAOK

Coming into this meeting, PAOK remain undefeated by Panetolikos in away games against them for the last 11 matches in the league. An fantastic away run.
