Mykonos vs PAOK Prediction 3 October 2026
🏀 The new Greek league season tips off in Mykonos, where one of the league’s most ambitious clubs, PAOK, come to town. Both teams reached the playoffs last season, but a summer ownership change has seen PAOK significantly strengthen their squad, while Mykonos endured a disappointing preseason. Given these circumstances, it’s no surprise that the visitors are clear favourites heading into this clash.
Head-to-Head
📊 So far, these teams have faced off in just two official encounters, each side claiming one victory. Their most recent meeting took place on 25 March 2026, with PAOK hosting and coming out on top with a 100-87 win.
Mykonos Team Overview
Mykonos approach the start of the season in less-than-ideal form. In September friendlies, the club suffered defeats to Iraklis and Aris, managing their only win against modest Karditsa. The squad underwent significant changes over the summer, with imports Appleby and Vanderberg joining the team. Last season, Mykonos were strong on the boards - ranking sixth in rebounds with 34.7 per game - and shot the three-ball fairly well (34.5%, also sixth-best). However, they finished the regular season with a losing record (9-15) and were knocked out of the Cup after back-to-back losses to Panathinaikos (75-99 and 76-90). The main concern for this side remains their lack of depth, with a short bench and the risk of quickly piling up team fouls against more athletic opposing backcourts.

PAOK Team Overview
PAOK have staged one of the most high-profile transfer campaigns in Greece. The team is now led by coach Trinchieri, while the squad has been bolstered by the arrivals of Calathes (from Panathinaikos), Osman (from Partizan), Foster, and Mitrou-Long. As a result, the club heads into the new season with serious ambitions and impressive depth, boasting two high-caliber players for every position. Preseason friendlies made it clear that PAOK are building an aggressive, full-court defense, forcing less cohesive opponents into turnovers early in their possessions. Their deep rotation enables them to maintain a relentless pace for all 40 minutes. They are expected to kick off the campaign with a win over Mykonos.

⭐ Editor’s Prediction
PAOK enter this matchup as clear favourites, a status fully backed by the bookmakers’ odds. Mykonos will look to slow the tempo from the opening tip, relying on physical play and tight positional defense. However, the difference in backcourt speed and the superior stamina of PAOK’s big men are likely to become decisive factors after halftime. Thanks to aggressive pressing and clinical execution in transition, PAOK should be able to cover a significant spread and prevent the hosts from making it a close contest down the stretch. Our well-founded prediction: back the visitors to win with a -7.5 handicap.
