Command Analysis

Panathinaikos

Current form
The Greek club is in 10th place in the league table, and its current form raises many questions. Ergin Attaman men have won only one of their last five matches, which makes it difficult to fight for a place in the top eight. The only victory was achieved in the match against Barcelona (90:89), where there was a bit of luck.
The team problems are related to both the defense and the inconsistent play of its leaders. Panathinaikos needs to pick up points, especially at home, to stay in the playoff race. However, Greek fans are increasingly demanding changes, seeing how their team is losing to its direct competitors.
Disqualifications and injuries
Marius Grigonis will not play in the next match due to injury.
Interesting facts for betting
The Greek club has lost only once in their last five home matches.
Probable line-up: Hernangomez - Osman, Lesso - Grant, Sloukas.

AX Armani Exchange Milano

Current form
The Italian club is at the peak of its form. Ettore Messina men are sixth in the league table and have not lost in six matches in a row. In the last round, they confidently beat Barcelona away (94:81), demonstrating excellent attacking play and reliable defense.
Zach LeDay has been a key player in the team success, continuing to consistently score points and lead the team forward. In the current state of Olimpia Milan, they are ready to fight for even higher places in the Euroleague, and the match against a weakened Panathinaikos provides an excellent opportunity to extend their successful streak.
Disqualifications and injuries
Joshua Nebo continues to recover from injury.
Interesting facts for betting
The Italian team has won six games in a row in the Euroleague.
Tentative line-up: Shields - LeDay, Mirotic - Mannion, Bolmaro.

2.30Tip and bets
Despite the home court, Panathinaikos will find it extremely difficult to cope with Olimpia Milan. The Greek team demonstrates an unstable game, which makes them vulnerable even in home matches. The home arena factor can help the hosts, but their current form is clearly inferior to their opponents.
The Italians, on the other hand, are on the move. Ettore Messina is making great use of his team strengths, including deep rotation and stability among leaders. We expect Olimpia Milan to at least perform well.
Our prediction is a victory for Olimpia Milan with a handicap of (+7.5) points for 1.72
Bet on total
Panathinaikos have no choice but to take risks and go forward to try to break their losing streak. Olimpia Milan, in excellent form, will not slow down either. Given the attacking style of both teams, the match is likely to be a high-scoring one.
Forecast - total over 170.5 points for 1.72
Bet on statistics
The Italian team exploits the opponent weaknesses in defense. In recent matches, Olimpia Milan has demonstrated a high level of attacking performance, and in this match they will certainly be aiming for results.
Forecast - individual total of Olimpia Milan over 83.5 points for 1.93
