PAOK will host AEK Athens at the Toumba Stadium on Sunday in the final round of the championship playoffs in the 2024-25 Stoiximan Super League campaign. Both teams have nothing to fight for but will be looking to end the season with a good result.
PAOK failed to take their chances and were punished for it in their 4-2 loss to Olympiacos last weekend confirming their place in next season's Conference League playoffs. The hosts have won three and lost two of five championship round games and only need a draw this weekend to confirm a third-place finish.
AEK have been the most disappointing team in the playoffs, having finished the regular season in second-place but are now on course to end the campaign in fourth. The visitors threw away their first-half lead in their 2-1 defeat against Panathinaikos last weekend, marking their fifth consecutive league loss and will only hope to get back to winning ways as a consolation on the final matchday.

PAOK vs AEK Athens Prediction
The sides are closely matched going into the weekend but PAOK will receive a huge boost from their home advantage and much better recent form.
AEK will be desperate to avoid losing all six of their playoff games and will likely be satisfied with a draw on the closing day. They are, however, winless in their last four away outings and could lose this one.
