PAOK vs OFI prediction and betting tips on January 3, 2023
On January 3rd, in the 16th round of the Greek championship, PAOK will host OFI, and the match prediction for these opponents has been compiled by our resource's analysts.
PAOK
After 15 rounds of the Greek championship, PAOK leads the standings. While this status should be inspiring, competitors are very close, with Panathinaikos trailing by just one point, and two other clubs are three points behind. In the last round, PAOK annihilated one of the outsiders, Kifisias, with a resounding 6:0 victory on neutral ground. PAOK is currently in brilliant form, riding a six-game winning streak in the championship.
OFI
OFI has been struggling recently, failing to secure a win in the last eight championship matches. Over this unfortunate stretch, they managed to collect only three points, placing them ninth in the league table. In their last match, OFI suffered a 0:2 defeat at home against Asteras Tripolis, despite putting up a good fight. A short break of two weeks might help them regain confidence, although grabbing points against the league leader will be challenging.
Head-to-head statistics and match prediction
Although PAOK holds an advantage in head-to-head encounters, they have been unable to defeat OFI in three consecutive games. The first-round battle concluded with OFI securing a 1:0 victory at home, with the lone goal being scored in the 90+7th minute. In this confrontation, the hosts are clear favorites, largely due to the fact that the "Double-Headed Eagles of the North" are in brilliant form. A two-week stagnation period could negatively impact both teams, making a bet on a total of fewer than 3.5 goals a logical choice.
