OFI Crete vs. PAOK: Facts & Figures
Ahead of PAOK’s Super League Play Offs match against OFI Crete, paokfc.gr puts you in the picture about the background to the match, as well as a look back at our previous encounters against the Cretans.
- This is the first time OFI is taking part in the Play Offs and in five matches played so far, they have lost four and drawn one.
- On Matchday 1 the Heraklion club lost 3-1 against PAOK (58′ Tziolis, 88′ Akpom, 90′ El Kaddouri – 49′ Neira). That marked PAOK’s fifth win of the season against the Cretan club, since apart from the two league matches during the regular season, the two teams also met in the Greek Cup with PAOK winning both games of their two-legged tie. Overall in those matches against OFI this season PAOK have scored 15 goals while OFI have scored just two.
- Since OFI returned to the Super League in the 2018-19 season, PAOK have won all of their seven matches against the Cretans both at home and away.
- The last time PAOK lost against OFI was on February 4 2015 by a 3-1 scoreline (11′ George, 34′ Lampropoulos, 82′ Koutsianikoulis – 52′ Papadopoulos). PAOK’s coach then was angelos Anastasiadis, while Nikos Anastopoulos was in the OFI dugout.
- In total, the two teams have faced each other 42 times with OFI as the home team in league play, while PAOK winning eight times in Crete to OFI’s 22, with 12 draws.
- Overall, the two teams have met 85 times both home and away in league play, with PAOK leading the way with 43 wins. OFI have recorded 23 wins and there have been 19 draws.
- The three consecutive away wins for PAOK against OFI represent a record for the Dikefalos tou Vorra, with the club having also achieved the feat – including a Greek Cup away match, but with a longer time difference. From 2008 to 2012 PAOK managed to beat OFI in two league matches and one in the cup, but OFI’s absence from the top flight did not give them the opportunity to play in more matches during that time.
