A great game is expected in Milan where Armani welcomes Panathinaikos.
Continuing the winning streak, Armani will seek to stabilize the privileged group leading to the playoffs. In the previous, he defeated Zenit with 73-72 and escaped chuck big patrick. Continuous injuries do not leave the team to give back what it knows and can, after the first few matches, worry about its performance. Every year big investments are made by the Italian team by buying foreigners from the top shelf but moderate native players do not allow it to change level. 7-2 her first record and then the tragic 2-6 that barely holds her in the first eight. Same and worse in Italy where it is in 8th place. Some of Mitsov's statements tried to wake the players up. Let's see if this is possible with Panathinaikos opponent. Lose Nedovich for another match.
On the other hand, Panathinaikos comes from a great victory over CSKA and sees with more optimism the continuity. In today's game he has to give it all up for victory as a second defeat by a team with the same aspirations directly puts him down in the event of a tie. Very good as usual in attack but with known problems in defense and rebounds which in the last match did not let the terrible appearance of Mitoglou who collected 16 (8 + 8) rebounds. In the news of the team the release of Rayon Brown who has not managed to get a place in the Panathinaikos team and logically in place will be Canadian Rautins who certainly is not in the team yet.
summarizing i think it will be a derby that will be judged in detail. Armani has lost the starting point on the tripod and it costs her fights but she has two rebounding abilities (Tartsevsky, Goodaitis) that can cause problems for the guest. If one finds Mitoglou again the chances will multiply in favor of Panathinaikos.
The point I choose is ... Panathinaikos (+4.5 & Over 154.5 pts) in performance 2.05 at stoiximan.
