Panathinaikos Team News
New season, same epilogue. Panathinaikos replaced its coach in the first months of the new calendar year for the third consecutive year. This time, the guild paid for Dejan Radonjić. He was replaced by Christos Serelis, who will lead the “Greens” until the summer as a temporary solution.
Even this time, Panathinaikos was not in serious competition for the appearance in the quarterfinals of the Euroleague. They have only eight wins after 25 rounds played, and only Asvel and Alba are in a lower position in the table. Defensively, the Greek giants were one of the worst teams in the competition, and apart from Derrick Williams and Dwayne Bacon, the performance was also poor on the other side of the floor. The bad thing for former coach Radonjić was that he was defeated in all four matches against Olympiacos.
Until the end of the regular season in the Euroleague, Panathinaikos is left to fight for honor. They don’t want to finish last and hit rock bottom. The matches in Athens are their chance, and one such game will be against the back-to-back champions of Europe.
Anadolu Efes Team News
Anadolu Efes had many problems in the regular season and the previous two years, but this situation seems most challenging. Ergin Ataman’s team is 12-12, and there is little room for mistakes if they want to advance to the quarterfinals.
On top of all that, the team’s superstar Vasilije Micić is injured, and there is a chance that he won’t play at all until the end of the season. Will Clyburn and Shane Larkin took charge and led Anadolu Efes to a crucial win against Asvel last week in France. Although special attack and excellent individual quality are something that is associated with Anadolu Efes, the fact is that defensively they knew how to play very well when it was necessary. A good defense will be the key to reaching the quarterfinals this time.
Although Panathinaikos does not traditionally lie with Anadolu Efes, the current Euroleague champion must triumph. These are the matches they must not lose. Otherwise, they could be left without the top 8, which would be a big shock after two seasons in which they lifted the cup in this competition.

Panathinaikos vs Anadolu Efes Prediction
