- In their last 15 premiere matches, PAOK has lost once and drawn three times, with the matches divided by 13 at home and two away from the Toumba.

- Last year’s two matches between PAOK and Asteras ended in draws, actully by the same scoreline (2-2), and it is the first time that this has happened since 2007-08 since Asteras Tripoli has been in the Super League.
- There were two draws in 2015-16 as well, but they were both at PAOK’s home ground, one in the regular season and the other in the Play Offs. At that time no goals had been scored, since both games ended 0-0, while PAOK failed to score in any of their four games against the Arcadians that season.
- PAOK prevailed 3-2 in the last match against Asteras and put an end to two consecutive matches between the two teams that had ended 0-1.
