Just a few hours ahead of the first leg of PAOK’s Greek Cup quarter-final tie against Panathinaikos, 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 Greens.
- This will be the 13th time that the clubs meet in the Greek Cup. This time the stage is the quarter-finals, and it’s the second consecutive time that they meet at this stage, as in 2019-20, when the Double-headed Eagle won both matches, 2-0 at the Toumba and 1-0 at «Leoforos».
- Their encounters in the last eight are few, since this is only the third, as apart from 2019-20 they were also paired together in 2006-07, when Panathinaikos qualified in extra time of the second leg at the OAKA with a 3- 1 scoreline. PAOK won 2-1 at the Toumba (31′ Konstantinidis , 42′ Mieciel – 62′ Manztios).
- Six of their 12 matches have taken place in the semi-finals, with the two teams each having qualified three times.
