The two teams met just over a week ago in a Super League match in which PAOK beat Panathinaikos 4-0, ending their twelve-match winless streak.
On the other side, Panathinaikos were on a nine-match unbeaten streak before the last meeting against PAOK.
Based on how both teams have performed recently, we think Panathinaikos are a slight favorite in this match. Despite the latest victory against the Greens, PAOK are going through a period of a deep crisis in their game.
In addition, in the last six h2h meetings, only once teams managed to score more than 3.5 goals.
Considering the importance of the match for both sides, we think it could be a close game and end with less than 2.5 total goals.
Panathinaikos have reached their 28 Greek Cup final after beating Lamia 3:0 on aggregate in the semi-final.
To clarify, the Greens had a decent Super League campaign. They finished in fourth place with 61 points, and despite the Cup result, Ivan Jovanović’s side have already secured the UEFA Conference League qualification spot.
Meanwhile, coming into this game, Panathinaikos have faced PAOK in the league’s last-round match. Unfortunately, the Greens lost 0:2 and failed to extend their undefeated thirteen-match run.

On the other hand, the title holders PAOK will try to win their 9th Greek Cup.
They have reached their 21 Greek Cup final after eliminating the Super League 2021/22 champions Olympiacos on 2:2 aggregate, thanks to an away goal.
Meanwhile, Răzvan Lucescu’s side finished the Super League 2021/22 in second place and had a fairly consistent tournament. However, their efforts were not enough to catch the champions, Olympiacos, who have the strongest squad in Greece. That second position allows PAOK to play in next season’s UEFA Conference League League qualification round.
In addition, PAOK are coming into this game in a positive mood, as they beat their upcoming opponents in their last league fixture (2:0).
