PAOK vs P.O.T Iraklis Prediction, H2H Stats & Statistical Bets 18 October 2026
🔊 PAOK come into this match in better form and sit among the leading group at the top of the table. Iraklis are also in contention for a top-four finish but currently trail by three points. The contrast between the sides is visible in their average scoring: PAOK are finding the net considerably more often, though the visitors' defence looks more solid. Both sides are motivated to secure their place among the top teams, which may make them cautious in their approach.
First leg
📊 The two sides have never met in an official match.
PAOK are prolific in front of goal when playing at home.
PAOK lost at home to Kalamata 1-3 in their last Super League match, despite having 61% possession and registering 19 shots to Kalamata's 12. The expected goals figures were much closer - 1.65 to 1.74.
PAOK have won four of their last five matches, with two defeats in that same period. Across their last ten games, they have five wins and just three losses - figures that support their status as one of the early-season favourites. Their average of 1.7 goals per game over those ten matches rises slightly at home to 2.17, though the attack has not been particularly prolific: the trend suggests PAOK rarely score more than two goals at their own ground. Their goals conceded average of 1.33 is relatively stable for a side at the top of the table.

Iraklis have found their rhythm and are showing real consistency.
In their most recent Super League home match, Iraklis beat Levadiakos 2-0 after a goalless first half. The visitors had more shots - 14 to 10 - and the Iraklis goalkeeper made six saves.
Iraklis have lost no more than once in their last five matches, picking up two wins and three draws, which points to good discipline and an ability to take points even against stronger opposition. Across ten matches, Iraklis have won three times and lost three times, with the rest ending in draws; their averages of one goal scored and just 1.1 conceded per game reflect an emphasis on organised defending even away from home. The team remain motivated to close the gap on the league leaders.

Corners Prediction
PAOK have taken fewer than 6.5 corners in 11 of their last 12 Super League matches - a very consistent trend. There are no separate corner statistics available, but such a sustained run points to the team's relatively low activity in this area. On that basis, PAOK Team Total Corners - Under 6.5 at 1.74* looks a reasonable selection.
Correct Score Prediction
According to the algorithm's calculations, the three most likely scorelines in this match are 1:0 (13.79%), 2:0 (11.03%) and 2:1 (10.36%). All three outcomes point to PAOK winning with relatively low scoring. Of the three, 1:0 has the highest probability, though the other two are not far behind.
*Odds are approximate and may vary between bookmakers.
⭐ Editorial Prediction
Both sides go into this match with moderate motivation to strengthen their positions in the upper half of the table: PAOK are looking to hold their place among the leaders, while Iraklis still have a chance to close the gap on their nearest rivals in the Champions League zone at this early stage of the season. The hosts have not been particularly prolific at home by recent standards, while the visitors have consistently kept the margin tight in almost all of their away matches over the past few weeks, thanks to a balanced defence and a pragmatic approach on the road. In our view, the most well-founded prediction is Iraklis Handicap +1.5. Predicted score: 2-1.
