Betting tips: Panathinaikos to win vs. Real Madrid
There are only 2 more rounds in the regular season of Euroleague and tonight it will be a big match, between two giants of the European basketball. This match is very important for PAO as they need to win in order to increase their chances to a playoff spot at the end of the season.
My pick for today match is PAO`s win. Real Madrid has already secured the home court advantage in the next phase of Euroleague, so they are less motivated that Greeks counterpart.
Panathinaikos form is very good lately and they won 10 games in a row in all competitions, 5 of them in Euroleague against Gran Canaria, Darussafaka, CSKA Moscow and Milano away and with Baskonia at home. Against CSKA and Milano they managed to win both games away and that bolster PAO`s chances to reach the play-off and also their spirit is very high.
For today`s match, the Greek superpower has a full roster.
On the other hand, Real Madrid has a record of 7-3 in all competitions in the last 10 games. They have lost twice against their biggest rival Barcelona, and once against Baskonia in the round 28 of Euroleague.
For Real Madrid, Felipe Reyes and Gabriel Deck are out for this match and Rudy Fernandez is listed as questionable after suffering an injury in the last match of the domestic league.
