PAOK host Panathinaikos at Toumba Stadium in Thessaloniki on 5 April 2026 in the Super League 1 Championship Group, with both sides chasing Europe and still eyeing the title race. PAOK enter the league phase in 3rd place on 57 points, boasting the best defence in the division and imperious home form (11 wins and 2 draws in 13, 27 goals for and just 3 against). Panathinaikos sit 4th on 49 points, strong overall but more vulnerable away from Athens (6 wins, 3 draws, 4 defeats; 19 scored, 16 conceded).
Recent form tilts slightly towards the visitors (Panathinaikos “WDWWW” vs PAOK’s “LWDWW”), but the head‑to‑head at Toumba is emphatically black-and-white. Across the last five official meetings in all competitions, PAOK have won four and lost one, including three straight home victories: 2-0 in the league, 2-0 in the Cup semi-final, and 2-1 in last season’s Championship Round.
Magomed Ozdoev, Giannis Konstantelias and Georgios Giakoumakis (7 league goals each) give PAOK a multi-pronged threat, with Taison adding 6 goals and 6 assists. Given PAOK’s unbeaten home record and defensive solidity (only 3 home goals conceded in 13 league matches), the edge is with the hosts to extend their dominance in Thessaloniki.
