NFC Volos

Current form
Last season, Volos finished 12th out of 14 in the Greek Super League, one step away from relegation. It seems that the team will fight for survival this time too. The visitors are again in 12th place, but only on additional indicators are they behind Levadiakos and Panserraikos. The club is only five points behind eighth place. After a home victory over Asteras Tripolis (2:1), the team suffered defeats from OFI (0:4) and AEK (2:4). In the last two matches, the club played terribly in defense and now ranks first in the league in terms of the number of goals conceded.

2.85Tip and bets
The hosts have been disappointed in their first two matches in 2025, so now is the time to improve. The team will play one of the Super League outsiders on their home field, so this is a great chance to get three points. Volos has failed in its last two matches and is unlikely to be able to compete with the current champion. We recommend betting on a confident success for the favorite.
Our betting tip is Asian handicap (-1.5) on PAOK for 1.62
Bet on total
PAOK is not among the top three teams in Greece, but remains the most productive club in the Super League and will certainly prove its status in the confrontation with Volos. The last two face-to-face matches between the rivals were productive, we think that the teams will not disappoint this time either.
Our prediction is total over three goals for 1.95
Bet on corners
We believe that the hosts will seize the initiative from the very beginning of the match and will attack for the entire 90 minutes. Most likely, the pressure on the opponent goal will lead to a noticeable advantage in the number of corners taken.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (-4.5) on corners for PAOK at 1.87
