Match preview
PAOK host OFI in round 1 of the Greek Cup, bringing together two sides that have been consistently active in the attacking third throughout August.
PAOK enter this knockout contest having scored at least once in all five of their recent fixtures across all competitions, including a 4-0 home win over Levadiakos and a 2-1 away victory against Atromitos. However, defensive concessions have also featured regularly, with PAOK conceding in four of those five matches, including consecutive 3-2 defeats against Anderlecht and Brann.
OFI arrive after a solid run of form where they found the net in each of their last five matches, highlighted by multi-goal performances against CSKA Sofia (3-0 and 2-0) and AEK Athens (2-2). With the most recent meeting between these two sides in this competition producing a high-scoring 3-2 result in April 2026, an open encounter is expected.
