PAOK vs Olympiacos Prediction

PAOK and Olympiacos are still in the title race on paper but they each need to win this game to ensure that they remain on course to displace AEK Athens at the summit.

This game represents both sides' outstanding fixture, with four and five points separating them from the summit respectively. The side that lose this game may as well kiss their title hopes goodbye, and the high stakes, coupled with the high-profile nature of this game means both sides will give their all.

Olympiacos are fresh off booking their spot in a maiden European final and confidence will be high in the Piraeus outfit's ranks. We are backing the visitors to claim a narrow win with goals at both ends.

Prediction: PAOK 1-2 Olympiacos
