Andrija Živković has made matches against Olympiacos one of his favorite pastimes. His goal in PAOK’s 1-1 draw at the “Georgios Karaiskakis” Stadium didn’t ultimately secure the three points for the “Double-Headed Eagle,” but it did give the Serbian captain yet another significant place in the history of these derbies.
The 30-year-old has now scored 9 goals in 27 matches against the Piraeus side, which means he scores on average once every three games. At the same time, he has provided 10 assists, for a total of 19 direct goal contributions against Olympiacos. Of his nine goals, five have been scored at Toumba and four at Faliro.

Zivkovic has now tied Nikos Anastopoulos with 9 goals in PAOK-Olympiacos derbies, climbing even higher on the all-time list. Ahead of him is the great Giorgos Sideris, who stopped at 12 goals and now stands as the major milestone the Serbian can aim for in future matches between the two teams.
For PAOK, however, Zivkovic has already made history. He is the “black-and-whites’” all-time leading scorer against Olympiacos, having surpassed three iconic figures from the club. Giorgos Koudas, Anestis Afentoulidis, and Giorgos Skartados had each scored seven goals against the “red-and-whites.”
What’s even more remarkable is that no other team in his career has conceded more goals than Zivkovic. He has scored seven times against Panathinaikos, while he has scored five goals each against AEK and Asteras.
