The representatives of Greek basketball in the Euroleague have a very difficult task in their current matches since they are called to leave with a double from two of the hottest seats in Europe. Olympiakos, which faces the mighty Fener in Istanbul, falls first in the battle, while a few hours later, Panathinaikos follows, which is tested at the headquarters of Maccabi Tel Aviv. in Israel.
David Blatt and his players will line up against the Turks without stress as no one has a claim to win this game, with Fener being considered the top team in the tournament with its course so far. With Zeljko Obradovic on the edge of the bench, Czech Veseli dominating under the baskets and Costas Sloukas in the role of conductor guiding his teammates, the hosts are in first place in the standings with 17 wins in 19 matches. The difference in capacity is a given since we must not forget the fact that the Turks have more than double the budget of Olympiakos and with the stadium resembling a furnace in another home match, Fener is expected to reach dominance easily or with difficulty.
Two hours later and several kilometers further south Panathinaikos is called to take his second double in Euroleague against one of the most molded teams of the event. Maccabi reminded a circus going from city to city until the president Mirajhi decided to give the reins to Yiannis Spheropoulos. The Greek technician has greatly improved the image of the People's Team, culminating in victories in Moscow on Tessa and Barcelona. The greens, on the other hand, easily lost to Lithuania and continued the negative set of appearances away from Athens but this is not the biggest problem Pittino faces. Nikos Pappas suffered a kick in the last training, depriving the great American coach of a solution to the already disturbed periphery, while the fact that the newly acquired but apparently unprepared Paine followed the quest. The hosts are the big favorite in the show and I think they will continue their impressive streak.
Summing up the current column proposition is the following duality that gives us 2.05 performance
Fener (-2.5) - Olympic 1
Maccabi - Panathinaikos 1
