Panathinaikos Team News
Nothing has changed in Panathinaikos form last week. They lost to Real Madrid and Baskonia in the Euroleague, and they are now at 8-15. It’s been clear for a long time that they are no contender for a top 8 spot, but they definitely want to get few more wins by the end of the regular season.
Due to bad results, fans stopped coming to the games. Only a few thousand fans were present at the last few matches in OAKA. Situation definitely won’t be better now after two new defeats. Recently, Panathinaikos signed Matt Thomas and Dimitrios Agravanis. Both should make their debuts against Valencia this week. This will give more options to head coach Dejan Radonjic, who constantly talked about missing one more player in power forward position.
Although they are aware that they won’t play in the Euroleague quarterfinals this season, Panathinaikos doesn’t want to gamble with their reputation. They are trying hard at least on their floor and they successfully done so in the last few games in OAKA, including a big comeback against Zalgiris.
Valencia Team News
Valencia’s five-game winning streak in the Euroleague was ended last week when they lost to Maccabi Tel Aviv 94:93 in “Fonteta”. If they had won that game, they would have been in seventh place. Valencia are now out of the playoff zone and a win in Athens is the only way to get there after round 24.
It’s interesting that Valencia achieved a streak of five wins at a time when many players were injured. Almost all important individuals missed some games. Bojan Dubljevic is out for a couple of weeks, Chris Jones constantly has problems with his knee, Jared Harper was also out of action for a period, just like Victor Claver. Nevertheless, all of this somehow united Valencia and raised the team chemistry to a very high level.
Valencia showed a lot more than Panathinaikos in the Euroleague this season. However, in order to triumph in Greece, it will be necessary for them to play their best game. A win would be of great importance, while a defeat would take them far away from the desired eighth place.
Panathinaikos vs Valencia H2H
This will be tenth time that these two teams will play against each other in the Euroleague. Valencia leads 5-4 including a win in first part of the season when it was 94:91 in “Fonteta”. Interestingly, each time the score in the same season was 1-1.
Injuries and Suspensions
Lefteris Bochoridis and Mateusz Ponitka are questionable, while all other players are available to Panathinaikos. Martin Hermannsson, Sam Van Rossom and Millan Jimenez won’t play for Valencia. Bojan Dubljevic and Xabi Lopez-Arostegui are questionable.
Panathinaikos vs Valencia Prediction
Unlike road games when there is a noticeable lack of effort, Panathinaikos players play motivated on the home court. We expect it to be the same now. Reinforced with two new players, they should overcome Valencia.
