Panathinaikos vs Olympiacos Odds

Panathinaikos Team News

Panathinaikos has undergone a total overhaul this season compared to the previous one and will be one of the main contenders for the very top of the Euroleague. A lot of money has been invested in the roster of this team, so the ambitions are the highest. But what Panathinaikos needs most is “time” for this team to play and show its maximum. The Euroleague is an intense competition that does not tolerate mistakes and minus phases, so Pao will have to find his rhythm very quickly, otherwise he will be in trouble.

They brought in an experienced coach, Ergin Ataman, who achieved top results with Anadolu Efes in the past few years. He will try to copy his game system from Efes in Panathinaikos. The management of the club provided him with top reinforcements, and the signings of Kostas Sloukas and Juancho Hernangomez stand out the most. Sloukas moved from the biggest rival Olympiacos, which sounded like a real bomb, and will be the leader of the “green” team this season. Juancho arrives from the NBA, and with his extensive NBA experience, he will bring width to the team from Athens. Popular “Bo Cruz” brings safety in the jump, but also looks fantastic offensively. As many as three players from Belgrade arrived at Panathinaikos. The fantastic Argentine Luca Vildoza arrived from Crvena zvezda, while Mathias Lessort and Ioannis Papapetrou arrived from Partizan. Ataman decided to bring three players who dominated the EuroCup last season. Jerian Grant, who was the Eurocup MVP, arrived, as did Kyle Guy, who dominated at Joventut, and the best young player and winner of the competition, the Polish, Balcerovski.

Just a few days ago, Panathinaikos and Olympiacos played a match for the first trophy of the season, and in the final of the Greek Super Cup, Olympiacos defeated Panathinaikos. The red and whites from Piraeus limited the “greens” to only 11 points in the first half. A great reaction from Ataman’s team is expected, and with the help of the crowded OAKA arena, they will achieve a favorable result and the first victory in the new Euroleague season.

Olympiacos Team News

Olympiacos was only one shot away from the Euroleague title, but Sergio Lull appeared and the title of European champion went to Madrid instead of Piraeus, but that is the effect of one game where no mistake can happen, but Olympiacos was the best and most consistent team in Europe last season. Although the two best players from last season left the team, Olympiacos brought in adequate replacements, and this year they will be very powerful in both directions.

The best player from last season left the team, Sasha Vezenkov went to the NBA, and will play for the Sacramento Kings. What particularly hurt Olympiacos fans was the transfer of one of the best players, Kostas Sloukas, to Panathinaikos. This transfer will further inflame the relations between the two clubs, which are still very tense and intense.

The team from Piraeus brought adequate substitutes to its composition. The most famous name is Nikola Milutinov, who is returning to Olympiacos after a couple of seasons in CSKA from Moscow. Milutinov is one of the best centers in the league and will be a huge update for Olympiacos. Luke Sikma, who has been one of the best players at position four in the Euroleague for many years, arrived from Alba. In addition to Milutinov, Nigel Williams-Goss, who played for Real last season, also returned to Olympiacos. As the last reinforcement, the Lithuanian representative and former NBA player Ignas Brazdeikis arrived, he is one of the best 1 on 1 players in both directions and can be a great replacement for Vezenkov. When looking at the roster from this season compared to the previous one, this year Olympiacos looks a lot wider and stronger, and we believe they can make an additional step forward.

Olympiacos plays with high intensity in both directions, and they are especially strong in defense, so it will be very difficult for Panathinaikos to break the defensive rampart. They exert constant pressure on the ball and are active on the passing line.
