**PAOK rolls into Agrinio as absolute heavyweight favorites** — they've won 23 of the last 28 H2H meetings, and Panetolikos' three recent wins don't move the needle much against this quality. 🔴

Panetolikos sit 3W-1D-1L but that loss to Panathinaikos was brutal (0-3), and they're missing key bodies. PAOK beat Aris at home last time but took a 1-3 hammering away to that same Panathinaikos, so consistency is their red flag heading in.

Key storylines:

- **PAOK's dominance in this fixture is staggering** — 23 wins in 28 derbies is basically a free pass, though the visitors did lose to Panathinaikos recently
- **Panetolikos have injuries piling up** with D. Galiatsos (Cruciate Ligament Injury) and M. Mejia (Foot Injury) sidelined, forcing rotation
- **B. Santamaria and C. Zafeiris** anchor PAOK's midfield against a depleted home side

Expected lineups:

- **GFS Panetolikos**: Y. Kucherenko, C. Manrique, G. Granath, N. Stajić, C. Mavrias, G. Satsias, M. Nakamba, L. Smyrlis, A. Bassi, D. Esteban, Y. Badji
- **PAOK**: J. Pavlenka, R. Baba, G. Michailidis, A. Elustondo, J. Kenny, C. Zafeiris, B. Santamaria, Taison, D. Pelkas, A. Živković, C. Ndiaye

Prediction:

**PAOK 2-0 Panetolikos** — the visitors' historical edge and Panetolikos' injury woes give PAOK a clear lean. ⚪
