PAOK vs Brann: Brann to win
Brann arrive in the Conference League tie with a 3.0 xG average, more than double PAOK’s 1.35. The model puts Brann’s win chance at 70.4%, the clearest edge of the night.
Both sides are looking to start their European campaigns on a high note, but the numbers already tell us who has the upper hand. PAOK’s home record offers no scoring cushion, while Brann have proven they can find the net away from home.
Robbo's Verdict
The model’s 70.4% win probability, driven by Brann’s 3.0 xG versus PAOK’s 1.35, makes a Brann victory the logical choice.
Show the maths
With PAOK averaging 1.35 expected goals and Brann averaging 3.0, the model gives a 70.1% chance both teams find the net, ahead of the 29.9% it gives to at least one side being kept out.
Show the maths
Combined expected goals of 4.3 (PAOK 1.35 + Brann 3.0) points to an open game, with the model giving Over 2.5 Goals a 80.5% chance against 19.5% for Under.
Show the maths
Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has PAOK at 14.3%, the draw at 14.9%, and Brann at 70.4% to win.
The single most likely scoreline in our model is 1-2 at 7.8% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.
The Numbers Behind the Headline
