Olympiacos Team News

Olympiacos has already beaten Pao twice this season and continued the tradition of good results and victories against the „greens“ from Athens. However, this year Panathinaikos has put together a very strong team, and we expect them to be much more competitive with Olympiacos. In addition to the already traditional tensions between these two clubs, the atmosphere was additionally “hardened” by the transfer of Kostas Sloukas, one of Olympiacos best players, to Panathinaikos. This is the first match after that transfer that Sloukas comes to the “Peace and Friendship” hall, which will not live up to its name when Sloukas appears on the field and is in contact with the ball.

Olympiacos showed a particularly impressive edition at the Greek SuperCup when they limited Panathinaikos to only 11 points in the first half! In the second match, they showed their character and experience and won in the crowded OAKA arena after extra time.

Olympiacos plays without mistakes in the domestic championship, while in the Euroleague they had big problems, above all with efficiency. This can also be attributed to the injuries that Olympiacos had at the beginning of the season, and the rotation was significantly shortened. But in the last two matches, they showed that they are returning to their routine mode. They especially easily defeated Anadolu Efes in the last round, where they limited Efes to 57 points, and sent a clear message before the big Derby. A lot of the game of Olympiacos depends on the game of Walkup, who is the driving force of Olympiacos both in defense and attack.

Panathinaikos Team News

Panathinaikos is struggling quite a bit at the start of the season, but that is to be expected because they have changed almost the entire roster compared to last season. In addition to coach Ataman, who forces a totally different system of training and play than most coaches in Europe, it takes time for the top five to crystallize as well as the leaders of Panathinaikos. Juancho Hernangomez arrived as one of the biggest reinforcements, who is playing far worse than all expectations and this is one of the reasons for the poor results of the Panathinaikos team. They are slowly but surely improving their form, and after two very heavy defeats against Fenerbahçe and Maccabi in the double round of the Euroleague, a few days ago they defeated Baskonia with a difference of 16 points, giving them 95 points. Top games are provided by Mathias Lessort, who continues where he left off last season playing for Partizan. Against Baskonia, he dominated with 23 points and 14 rebounds, while Kostas Mitoglou, who also scored 23 points and was an x-factor, played well.

A lot of pressure in this match will be on Kostas Sloukas, who will be attacked by Olympiacos fans, and in addition, he will have one of the best defenders of the Walkup league opposite him on the floor, who puts constant pressure on the opposing defenders. That matchup will be one of the key ones in this duel, just like Lessort against Nikola Milutinov. One thing is certain, a real classic awaits us.

Olympiacos vs Panathinaikos Prediction

Olympiacos also showed this season that they have a “secret recipe” against Panathinaikos, and they were especially convincing in the first match. But as the season progresses, we think that Panathinaikos will be a much more equal opponent, because it is a top team. However, we expect Olympiacos to win this match, primarily because of the home-field effect. Lately, these two teams have been playing very ineffective duels, with a lot of nervousness and bad decisions. This time we think that the match could be quite different and that the shooters could be in a much better mood than usual.
