PAOK vs Levadiakos Prediction: PAOK in a must-win situation

Who would think that the champion PAOK would fear that would finish the regular part of the season out of the top four? But, after 19 matches played PAOK are closer to fifth position than to the top of the league. In the 20th round, they will welcome Levadiakos, and it’s an opponent they have to win against. Levadiakos as all teams from Athens are coming to Thessaloniki with a lot of motives and inspiration. However, I think that besides all the problems that PAOK have, they should easily win this match and end the bad run in the league.

PAOK fell to fourth place after they drew in the last round against their city rival Aris. It was their third match in a row in the league without a win, since they lost previously against Panathinaikos and Volos. In this match, they will be without several important players, Zivkovic, Lovren, Colley, Murg, and Gomez, but it shouldn’t be the reason for the champion not to win at home against a team that is fighting for survival. Last week in the Europa League PAOK won against Slavia Prague and improved their chances of qualifying for the next round. Next week they have a difficult away match against Real Sociedad, but first, they have to win some matches and earn some points in the league, and I think that this match is where they end the bad run.

Levadiakos have only a win in their last five matches in the league, and I can’t see them winning any against PAOK in Thessaloniki. Last round they were defeated by Asteras T. at home, and in that match, we could see everything that this team leaked to be in a better position in the Super League. They had the lead and it seemed that they would win at least a point, but their confidence and focus dropped and they conceded two goals in the last 15 minutes of the match. In this match, the manager Papadopoulos can’t count on Balzi and Tsapras. However, I think that this team is below PAOK and no matter how motivated they are, they lack the quality to win points in this match.

Expert Betting Tips

This is a match between two very different teams, and the fact that Levadiakos’ last win over PAOK was in 2014 speaks enough. I expect PAOK to take control of the game from the beginning, score goals early in the first half, and end the match without any unnecessary drama. I think that PAOK will win with several goals difference and that we will see more than 2.5 goals in the game.

Our prediction for the match is for the home team to win and over 2.5 goals for the odds of 1.95 at 1xbet.
