A potential title-deciding fixture is set to kick off this weekend in the Greek Super League with this matchday 22 fixture between leaders PAOK and second-place AEK Athens. PAOK will play the hosts for this matchup as they currently hold a slim two-point lead over the defending champions. A win for PAOK would give them a four-point lead which could be enough to hold on for their first league title since 2018/19 given their unbelievable form. The home team comes into this fixture off the back of a 2-0 away win over Atromitos in the Super League last weekend, representing the team’s seventh victory in a row. It was the latest positive result in a run of form which has seen PAOK win 15 of their last 16 competitive matches dating back to November of 2023. At the Toumba Stadium, PAOK have been almost faultless with a 10-1-0 record, 30 goals scored and only three goals conceded.

AEK Athens come into this matchup with the chance to leapfrog their opponents and claim the top spot. Their 14-6-1 record on the campaign has them on 48 points, two behind PAOK and only one point ahead of Panathinaikos. AEK come into this matchup off the back of three consecutive wins with their most recent being a 4-2 home triumph over Asteras. The visitors last time playing on the road resulted in a dominant 5-0 win over Atromitos. They’ve been excellent this season as the visiting side with six wins, three draws and only a single defeat. AEK will be hoping their red-hot attacking form can continue against the defensive prowess of PAOK. The Double-Headed Eagle have now netted 12 goals in their last three games. They’ve also scored at least two goals in their last eight straight in the Super League.
