Panathinaikos Team News

In the first match of this week, Panathinaikos managed to beat the unpleasant Zalgiris, in a very hard and tense game, and once again showed that they are slowly rising and that as time goes on, they will be better and more compact. Panathinaikos played nervously throughout the match and had big problems from the free throw line, and in the end, they shot a very poor 18/31. If only this segment of the game had been better, the victory would not have been questioned for a single moment. Mitoglou and Lessort made a huge difference under the basket, leading the high players of Zalgiris into nervousness and problems with personal fouls. Mitoglou is the most pleasant surprise of this season in the Euroleague and it can be said that he is the most consistent player of Panathinaikos this season.

Against Virtus, they will face a very difficult match, especially because they had one day less to recover and regenerate than the team from Bologna. Both teams are playing very hard and we believe that the match will be for a smaller number of points. A particularly important matchup will be under the basket, where Lessort on one side and Shengelia on the other side will play a key role.

Virtus Bologna Team News

The Virtus team is the most pleasant surprise this season in the Euroleague. At the beginning of this season, they lost their main player Milos Teodosic, who was the team’s leader for many years, as well as coach Sergio Scariolo. This seems to have motivated them further or perhaps freed them from the “shackles”, since under the new coach Luca Banchi they are playing excellently in both directions, and they share second place in the Euroleague with Barcelona and are on the score of 6-2. In the last match, they defeated the host team Olimpia Milano in the Italian derby, and once again showed that they have a compact and high-quality squad and that they do not panic or give up at any moment. They work on the drive of Tornike Shengelia, who is one of the candidates for the MVP award this season. However, in the match against Milano, Lundberg was the most effective in the ranks of Virtus, who scored 19 points and took responsibility when the game broke. The problem for Virtus is Jordan Mickey injury, which is a very important factor in both directions, and his solidity in the racket will certainly be missing in the match against Panathinaikos.

"Non avremmo potuto competere senza la partecipazione di tutti con questo comune senso di urgenza" 🗣 Coach Banchi
