Panathinaikos Team News
Panathinaikos started new season with slightly higher ambitions than in the past few years. Owner Dimitros Giannakopoulos became more actively involved in running the club again, which means that investments were automatically higher.
During this summer, Panathinaikos signed several good players. Among them are Marius Grigonis, Derrick Williams, Arturas Gudaitis, Mateusz Ponitka, Paris Lee and Nate Wolters. A few days ago, Dwayne Bacon also arrived, so head coach Dejan Radonjic has plenty of quality individuals at his disposal. However, Panathinaikos form isn’t the best as they are at 1-4 after five rounds and unless things change soon, it won’t be a surprise if Giannakopoulos changes coach.
This game is extremely important for Panathinaikos. A potential new defeat would take them far away from eighth position and playoffs. If they are already in January closer to the bottom than play-off spot, OAKA will be mostly empty in the second part of the season.
Partizan Team News
After three defeats in first three rounds, Partizan achieved two wins at home. They beat Virtus and Zalgiris, so the situation is now much better than just two weeks ago. As the season progresses, their form will certainly be on the rise.
Zeljko Obradovic won the Euroleague nine times in his career, making him the undisputed leader. In fact, only Real Madrid has more titles than him in this competition. Return to Partizan is a sort of last chapter in his career and the goal is to go to the very end in coming years with his beloved club. Partizan has a very good roster this season as well. Mathias Lessort is currently one of the best centers in the Euroleague. Zach LeDay is playing in fantastic form, while Kevin Punter scored 26 points twice.
Partizan travels to Greece with great confidence and belief that they can achieve their first victory at road this season. They were very close against Baskonia and now they are hoping for a different outcome. Partizan definitely have the quality for something like that.
H2H
12 times these two teams played against each other in the Euroleague in 21st century. Score is 8-4 in Panathiniakos favor.
Injuries
Nate Wolters is questionable, while all other players are available to Panathinaikos. Partizan is still without Aleksa Avramovic and Alen Smailagic.
Panathinaikos vs. Partizan Prediction
Partizan has shown better basketball than Panathinaikos so far. The fact is that “Greens” play much better at home than at road, but they will also have a lot of pressure on their backs. The key battle will take place in paint and we expect Lessort and LeDay to be more successful than Williams, Papagiannis and Gudaitis.
