PAOK secured third place at mid-season after a 3:1 victory over Flisvos (25:18, 25:17, 19:25, 26:24). Bulgarian middle blocker Nikolay K'rten played a solid match, finishing with 8 points, a +6 efficiency rating, 3 blocks, and 63% attack efficiency, bringing stability to the middle of the net.

However, the great hero for the "black and whites" was Uros Kovacevic, who deservedly became the MVP of the match. The Serbian outside hitter scored 24 points, leading PAOK's offense in key moments, especially in the first and fourth sets.

The team impressed with high attack efficiency – 66% in the first and 67% in the third set, which proved crucial for the final success.

Milon – undefeated "winter champion"

In the same round, Milon achieved a convincing 3:0 victory over Foinikas Syros (25:?, 25:?, 25:?), recording their eighth win out of eight matches and single-handedly topping the standings. Thus, the team secured the unofficial title "winter champion" for the first time in its history. Milon now has 22 points, with a +4 advantage over Panathinaikos and +6 over PAOK and Olympiacos ONEH, who share third place.
