Prediction published on 21/04/2024, 05:29  by Daniel Ngulu in Football Predictions

Olympiakos will hope to keep their stability when they welcome PAOK in their next game in the Greek Super League 1. In the championship round, Olympiakos currently sit outside the top three while third-placed PAOK are eyeing three points to go top. Having had Conference League assignments, either side comes here with a game in hand. Hosts Olympiakos have stabilized after a false start in the championship round. They lost their first two matches of this round but wins in the last two matches have them back in order. However, being four points behind third-placed PAOK doesn’t work in their favor. Here they will hope to carry their recent form that has them on four straight wins. Olympiakos are coming from a 1-0 loss to Fenerbahce in the Conference League quarter-finals second leg. Still, they proceeded to the semis through post-match penalties and will be high in confidence.

PAOK’s confidence will be on a low coming into this game following their elimination from the Conference League. Despite their best efforts, PAOK lost home and away to Club Brugge in the competition’s quarter-finals. Their 2-0 loss at home on Thursday completed Club Brugge’s 3-0 aggregate win. That result left PAOK without a win in three straight matches, while they haven't been great defensively. They’ve not only failed to score in their last two games, PAOK have conceded more than a goal in three of the last five matches. The visiting side has now failed to keep a clean sheet in eight straight matches. It will further dampen their preps for this game noting that they’ve lost three of their last four matches against Olympiakos.
