PAOK (Prince)’s been all over the shop, their showings yo-yoing from inspired to baffling. Meanwhile, Athletic Bilbao (Carlos)’s grinding through a rough patch, their rearguard looking porous.

When it comes to the GT Leagues (2x6 min.), this game carries greater importance.

If you’re playing this one, here’s the no-bull take.
PAOK (Prince) at 2.9 to win feels slightly short given their Jekyll-and-Hyde act in the GT Leagues (2x6 min.) this term. Their xG (expected goals) suggest they’re overperforming — analytics guys would steer clear.
Athletic Bilbao (Carlos)’s 1.62 line tempts, especially if their center forward (CF) shakes off his cold streak.
The smart money’ll likely target the Draw 5.2 — these derbies often play out tight, and occasion can stifle attacking flow.
