PAOK vs Atromitos Prediction: An easy 3 points for PAOK

In the 8th round of Greece Super League PAOK will welcome still winless Atromitos in Thessaloniki. PAOK are clear favorite here and everything but a home win in this match will be huge surprise. Atromitos on the other hand are having terrible season and against mighty PAOK they will try to lose decently.

PAOK are in 3rd position with 14 points, 4 wins, 2 draws, and a defeat. They are already 5 points behind the leader Olympiacos, so any more lost points will mean losing the title. PAOK are undefeated in the last 6 matches in all competitions with 4 wins and 2 draws, while at home they are undefeated in the last 9 matches in all competitions. In the last league match, they played a draw against the fierce rival Panathinaikos in an away match, but now it’s time for them to get back to winnings.

I don’t think that anyone in Atromitos is thinking about winning this match considering the form and situation in this team. After 7 rounds they are still winless with 3 draws and 4 defeats. As visitors they have only a draw and 4 defeats, with a goal difference of 3:14. Their last match in the league was against Panathinaikos, a match from the first round that was postponed, and they were defeated 5:0.

In Toumba Stadium the atmosphere is very hot, very much like in the stadiums in South America. Many great teams are falling here and Atromitos can’t hope for anything better than a decent defeat. PAOK have a match in Europa League next week, so the manager Lucescu might give chance to some players who haven’t played much this season, but still PAOK are way better and stronger than Atromitos and I expect the home team to finish the job confidently in the first half.
