The only scenario that PAOK wants to become champion

The completion of the 7th matchday of the Stoiximan Super League playoffs had AEK as the big winner, which remained in first place in the standings, while increasing the gap from both Panathinaikos and PAOK.

The Union achieved a great win against the “greens” and cemented themselves at the top of the league, with Fatih Terim’s side remaining -4 off the top spot. At the same time, PAOK, with the gela in Lamia, was removed from AEK and is now -7 from the top, while Olympiacos is -8 after the draw with Aris, with PAOK and Olympiacos having one game less.

The conquest for PAOK goes (also) through Karaiskakis

As we head towards the end of the playoffs, the scenarios for this year’s champion are diminishing and PAOK knows that winning the championship is no longer only through the feet of its players.

The unique scenario that will crown PAOK champion: Lucescu’s team must win all four remaining games, while at the same time they want AEK to lose or draw with Olympiakos (away) or Lamia (home). Also, in order to overtake Panathinaikos, they need a win against the greens, as they have the upper hand in the draw, and of course to win the remaining games, regardless of Panathinaikos’ results in the last matches.

Of course, there is still a scenario for PAOK to win the championship, but it is very difficult to happen. If PAOK beats AEK, Panathinaikos and Olympiakos and loses to Aris, they will have 77 points. In order for Lucescu’s team to be crowned champions, AEK must collect one or two points with Olympiakos and Lamia. However, if AEK gets two points, PAOK must beat Union by two goals in Toumba, to be on top of the tie, while at the same time they will be tied with Panathinaikos, if the greens beat Aris and Olympiakos .

The criteria in case of a tie:

1) The points collected by the teams tied in the games between them (both in the playoffs and in the regular season).

2) The goal difference for the teams that are tied from the games between them (both in the playoffs and in the regular season).

3) The position occupied by the teams in the regular season of the Stoiximan Super League.
