PAOK ONLY CLUB TO BEAT OLYMPIACOS IN 57 GAMES

Olympiacos lengthy 43-game unbeaten run in the Super League is over. In what was an underwhelming, scrappy affair, PAOK emerged victorious at the Karaiskakis Stadium by a score of 1-0, with Enea Mihaj headed the ball beyond the stricken Jose Sa in the 90th minute. This is Olympiacos’ maiden loss in the Super League since February 10, 2019 when PAOK claimed a 3-1 victory at the Toumba Stadium.

Incredibly, looking back at the previous 57 Super League games, Olympiacos have only lost to PAOK! If we disregard PAOK, OFI were the last team to defeat the Erythrolefki in the top flight of Greek football, with the Cretans claimed a 1-0 triumph in Heraklion on October 29, 2018. 

Olympiacos have only lost four of their last 64 Super League matches (30 in the 2018/2019 season and 34 in the 2019/2020 campaign):

Olympiacos - PAOK - 0-1 (30/09/2018)

OFI - Olympiacos - 1-0 (29/10/2018)

PAOK - Olympiacos - 3-1 (10/02/2019)

Olympiacos - PAOK - 0-1 (12/07/2020)
