That victory gives the Belgian side a narrow but valuable edge, reflected in the aggregate scoreline and in the early Anderlecht vs PAOK stats, where Anderlecht lead both in wins and goals scored.

Season to date in the 2026 Europa League, both teams have identical goal-scoring averages of 1.7 per match, but Anderlecht have been slightly more secure defensively, conceding 0.7 goals per game compared to PAOK’s 1.0. Anderlecht’s unbeaten record and ability to win away in Thessaloniki suggest a solid platform heading into the home leg, while PAOK’s strong attacking numbers away from home indicate they are capable of making this a very competitive second match. Overall, the statistical trends lean marginally towards Anderlecht thanks to their first-leg win and defensive record, but PAOK’s offensive potential keeps the tie very much alive ahead of the decisive night at Lotto Park.
