LiontipsRed Star - Panathinaikos. Forecast and bets on the Euroleague match
Command Analysis
Current form
Crvena Zvezda was close to winning in Kaunas, but the Serbs were a little unlucky. In the decisive moments of the match, luck turned against them. As a result, the team from Belgrade suffered a defeat from Zalgiris with a score of 84:86.
The best players in the Crvena Zvezda team were Miller-McIntyre and Plavisic. Each of them scored 16 points. Most likely, the coaching staff of the team will also rely on these players in the next match.

Even away from home, Panathinaikos has every chance of achieving success. Recently, the Greeks confidently dealt with Fenerbahce away from home. Crvena Zvezda is, of course, a good team, but its selection of players is worse. We do not believe in the possible success of the home team.
Our prediction is Panathinaikos with a handicap of (-3.5) points at 1.80
