Panathinaikos Team News
Panathinaikos started to play better in the last ten days. Terminating the contract with Dejan Radonjić did not cause an instant reaction. However, some players like Marius Grigonis pointed out that fixing all the bad things from the previous period takes time.
The last couple of matches showed that Panathinaikos is on the right track. In the Euroleague, they defeated Crvena zvezda and Asvel, while in the big derby against Olympiacos in the Greek League, they lost in an uncertain ending. Grigonis played one of the better matches of the season, along with excellent Dwayne Bacon. New coach Christos Serelis will have to work on the defense, which was one of the worst in this competition throughout the season.
Panathinaikos is an absolute outsider against Barcelona. However, they played a lot better on their home court this season. They can certainly put up a good resistance, and a possible triumph indicates that they are on the right track to at least end the season in the Euroleague in a good way.

Barcelona Team News
After two defeats against Olympiacos and Fenerbahce, last week Barcelona managed to defeat Zvezda in “Blaugrana.” The problem is that they decided on the winner in that clash in the last two minutes, even though the opponent was without a couple of important players.
All season long, Barcelona has had significant problems at the forward positions. Jan Vesely did not bring the expected improvement when he replaced Brandon Davies, and Oscar da Silva needed to live up to expectations. Even the leading players like Nicolas Laprovittola, Nikola Mirotic, and Cory Higgins do not continue playing at their peak, and all that reflects in the results. Some media reported that coach Sarunas Jasikevicius would only get a contract extension if he won Euroleague.
The first mission towards reaching the Final Four will be to defend the top 4 and home-field advantage in the quarterfinals. Barcelona certainly wants to finish the regular season in the best possible way. For a triumph in Greece, it is most necessary for focus and motivation to be at a high level and not to underestimate Panathinaikos.

In the first match between these clubs this season, Barcelona beat Panathinaikos at home 74:68. It was the eighth consecutive triumph for the Catalans against the “Greens” from Athens.
Expected Lineups
Mateusz Ponitka and Dwayne Bacon are questionable for Panathinaikos, while Cory Higgins is most likely not to play for Barcelona due to a back problem.
Panathinaikos vs Barcelona Prediction
Panathinaikos played well in the last few games, and we believe they will study with great energy for this match against Barcelona. They may not be good enough to win, but they can cover the handicap and lose less than 8 points.
