- Head-to-head: PAOK have won three of the last four matchups with Atromitos (D1, L0) in all competitions.
- Betting angle: The 1.65 odds on the visitors looks the best bet on Sunday's game, but there may be some value in backing the draw at 3.8 as Atromitos have won their last two home games in all competitions.
- Players to watch: Steven Zuber has been a sharp outlet for Atromitos in recent weeks with five goals in his team's last five games, which have netted 13.
A close matchup awaits at Peristeri Stadium
FC PAOK Thessaloniki are the favorites at 1.65 for Sunday's away game to PAE APS Atromitos Athens at the Peristeri Stadium with the hosts coming in at 5.6 and the draw 3.8. This is a tough game to call based on the Super League 2026-2027 table where PAOK are fifth with three points from one match and Atromitos are eighth with none from one.
The visitors were on a roll, beating Levadiakos 4-0 in their only Super League 2026/2027 game so far, but that result followed a 1-1 home draw with Brann and a 3-2 away defeat to Anderlecht.
Dusan Kerkez has made an impressive start to his time in charge of Atromitos since 15 November 2025, but his side are in mixed form with three wins, zero draws and two defeats in their last five matches in all competitions. Their compact 4-2-3-1 mid-block keeps them in the game and they are a dangerous team on the counter-attack, but they will struggle to pin PAOK in their own half for long enough to control the game.
Zuber and Zivkovic can be tough to stop
Travel form and system
PAOK's only away fixture of the season so far was to finish that run with a defeat and, although they have a great squad on paper, their travel form will remain a question mark until they prove otherwise. Alessio Lisci has been in charge since 1st July 2026 and his switch to a system with three centre-backs added tempo and thrust to the wing-backs.
Key attackers
- PAOK have scored eight goals in their last five and Andrija Zivkovic has been their main creator and finisher with one goal and two assists in his only Super League 2026/2027 appearance so far.
- The Serbia international has the ability to create something out of nothing and can be as deadly as a finisher when in form.
- Giannis Konstantelias has also been on fire of late with three goals in PAOK's last five, but there will be many candidates for a goal here.
The hosts will get their chances
The markets look a little tight for this game, with Under 2.5 goals coming in at 1.95 and Both Teams to Score — No at 1.87. Atromitos have failed to win either of their two home matchups with PAOK in all current competitions, so the head-to-head edge goes with the away team here.
But we like the look of the 3.8 draw on Sunday as they have won their last two at home in all competitions. Kerkez's men can still bite, having just hammered Panserraikos 6-0 in the Super League Relegation Group 2026 and beaten Pyrgos 3-1 in the Cup before losing 1-0 away to Olympiakos.
Seven months ago in the Greek Cup 2025/2026, PAOK had to dig deep to beat them 6-5 at home and we are expecting another lively matchup, but this time the Dikefalos will probably have the edge in quality and come away with the win.
