[edit] History
[edit] Cultural rivalry
The rivalry between the two Greek clubs can be traced to a rivalry between Southern and Northern Greece, or Athens and Thessaloniki in particular. Olympiacos from the port of Athens, Piraeus, and PAOK from the capital of Macedonia, are the most popular clubs in the two largest Greek cities respectively, thus their rivalry reflects more than any other the intercity rivalry.
People from Thessaloniki feel Athens has consistently been favored over their city, the Macedonian capital, and the fans of Thessalonikan teams consider the Athenian giants, the so called P.O.K., the main reason that their teams have been marginalized.[1]. As far as the Olympiacos and PAOK rivalry is concerned, the situation became worse in the 1960s, when the all-time best player of PAOK, Giorgos Koudas, decided to move to Olympiacos. PAOK fans rose in outrage and protested against the Athenian power which once again seemed to harm their club and the transfer was prevented.
[edit] Football rivalry
Olympiacos and PAOK are traditional rivals in other sports as well, mainly in basketball, and secondly in volleyball and water polo. As for their football history, after the "Koudas incident", PAOK fans became so hostile against the team from Piraeus that games at PAOK became the most difficult away games for Olympiacos to win and the Reds had a 21-year period without a single win at Toumba Stadium (including three matches which had been played in other stadiums) and only two wins in 33 matches in the period 1966-1998. The situation however changed a lot in recent years as Olympiacos is unbeaten in Toumba Stadium since 1997. On the other hand PAOK has historically fared even worse at Olympiacos, as PAOK managed a negative record of 14 consecutive defeats and only two wins in 35 matches in between 1968 and 2004.
