It’s been a rare occasion in recent times where PAOK have kept a clean sheet. It will be a concern for them that PAOK have seen their defence breached in 6 of their previous 6 clashes, letting in 9 goals during that time. Regardless, it remains to be seen whether that trend shall persist in this match.

- have not lost a league tie with AEK Athens in their last 2 matches.
