PAOK visit the Apostolos Nikolaidis Stadium on Sunday in the Super League Greece to face off with Panathinaikos, looking to continue their unbeaten start to the 2025-26 season.
With seven wins from their opening nine games, the White-Blacks are currently leading the title race in the league with 23 points in the bag, one ahead of defending champions Olympiacos. They are also the only unbeaten team in the Greek top flight right now.
Draws against Panetolikos (0-0) and Asteras Tripolis (3-3) in succession were the only times where PAOK have dropped points in their barnstorming league run thus far, which includes a convincing 5-0 drubbing of Panserraikos on the road last weekend.
Meanwhile, Panathinaikos, runners-up in the Greek top flight last season, are down in eighth position in the league standings with only 12 points from eight games. They've won only thrice so far and recently saw their five-game unbeaten run in the competition ended by Volos, who beat them 1-0 for the Shamrock's second top-flight defeat of the season.
But much like PAOK, who crushed Switzerland's Young Boys 4-0 in the Europa League on Thursday, Panathinaikos are also coming off the back of a victory in Europe. They beat Swedish outfit Malmo 1-0, courtesy of an 85th-minute winner from Filip Duricic, which should give them some momentum here.

Panathinaikos vs PAOK Prediction
Panathinaikos have a good record on home turf against PAOK lately, but the latter have taken the new season by storm so far. They are unbeaten too, something that the home side will know all too well.
Despite their best efforts, we expect the White-Blacks to come away with all three points with their unbeaten run intact.
Prediction: Panathinaikos 1-2 PAOK
