Iraklis's equivalent sample blends last season's Super League 2 form with this year's step up to the top flight. Nine wins, seven draws and four losses, with 22 scored and 18 conceded, is a lower-scoring picture than PAOK's, though it's coming from a different level of competition for a chunk of those games.

Treat Iraklis's overall numbers carefully since part of that sample was played a division below where they are now.

Comparative Team Statistics: PAOK vs Iraklis 1908

Where they stand in Super League 1

In the current league table PAOK sit second after five games, with four wins and just one loss, scoring 12 and conceding 5. Iraklis are down in eighth, with one win, three draws and one loss, and only four goals scored in that time.

That's a draw-heavy, low-scoring start for Iraklis in the top flight so far this season.

Iraklis's away form this season looks light on goals at both ends.

Attacking names and cards to watch

PAOK's scoring load has been shared around: Pelkas has three goals in five appearances, Zivkovic and Ndiaye have two each, and Shoretire has two in just two outings since arriving. Zivkovic has also set up two goals.

Penalty cards:

Elustondo x 1

Iraklis 1908:

Penalty cards:

Vitor Meer x 1 x 1

Ivi López x 3

On discipline, Iraklis's Ivi López has three yellow cards in four games and Vitor Meer has already been sent off once, while PAOK's Elustondo also picked up a red in his last four. None of that confirms who's actually available for this specific fixture, but it's context worth having.

How it could play out

PAOK have been scoring freely in the league so far, averaging well over two goals a game. Iraklis, by contrast, have found goals hard to come by away from home this season, with a season so far built on tight, draw-heavy results.

That contrast suggests PAOK's attacking threat is the clearer factor here, though Iraklis's habit of grinding out draws shouldn't be dismissed either.
