Red Star Team News
Red Star lost against reigning champion Anadolu Efes in the Euroleague opening round. Although in the end it was 72:59, red and whites put up more than good resistance, especially considering that they played without several important players.
Between two seasons, Red Star changed a lot of things. Dejan Radonjic left the club and went to Panathinaikos, plus there are a lot of new players in roster. Some of them are Nemanja Nedovic, Jaylen Adams, John Holland, Ben Bentil, Hassan Martin, Filip Petrusev, Dalibor Ilic and Miroslav Raduljica. Vladimir Jovanovic was chosen as new head coach, for whom this is the biggest challenge in his career so far. Given the large number of changes, a young coach will need time to adjust it all.
This will be the first home game for Red Star in the Euroleague this season. That is why we should expect that “Aleksandar Nikolić” hall will be filled to capacity. The fans are eager for success in Europe and a triumph against Panathinaikos would raise the atmosphere further.
Panathinaikos Team News
Just like Red Star, Panathinaikos changed almost entire team and head coach during this summer. They played an outstanding game against Real Madrid last week in “OAKA”, but lost in a very close ending.
As already mentioned, new Panathinaikos head coach is Dejan Radonjic. His basketball philosophy is based on excellent defense and organized offense. Those elements were seen against Real Madrid and if the Montenegrin coach gets time to implement his style, Panathinaikos has a bright future. One of the problems are injuries at the beginning of the season, as well as the weak form of Marius Grigonis, who is expected to be team leader.
After losing against Real Madrid in the Euroleague last week, Panathinaikos were defeated by Aris in the domestic championship as well. This is not good news, because in the case of a third consecutive defeat, the start of the season would be turbulent, as is always the case in Athens when team is on losing streak.
H2H
In last ten head-to-head games, score between Red Star and Panathinaikos is 5-5. In Belgrade, the red and white have three consecutive wins against the “Greens” from Athens.
Injuries
Nemanja Nedovic is injured and won’t play for Red Star, while Ognjen Dobric is questionable. At Panathinaikos, Nate Wolters is out and Derrick Williams is probable.
Red Star vs. Panathinaikos Prediction
If anyone knows Red Star, it’s coach Radonjic. He will certainly prepare his team in the best possible way and will know how to exploit all the weaknesses of the opponent. That is why we expect Panathinaikos to cover handicap in Belgrade. It won’t be big sensation if the guests manage to win.
