Panathinaikos continues to crush its opponents. In all tournaments, Serjin Ataman's charges have won eight matches in a row. In four of them, the team from Athens won the Euroleague. The Greeks' main successes include their triumph in matches with Bayern (80:69) and Virtus (111:90).
All these successes allowed Panathinaikos to maintain its positions. At the moment, the team occupies the third line in the tournament table. Ataman's charges have won 12 matches.

Current form
Partizan managed to improve the game significantly. The Serbs have looked much better lately. They have won several important victories. For example, the team from Belgrade managed to slam Fenerbahce (90:81) and defeat Maccabi (98:75).
Sterling Brown will play an important role in Partizan's game. Much depends on him in the team's tactical actions. For example, in the last Euroleague match he managed to score 21 points, 1 rebound and 4 assists. There is no doubt that the outcome of the next match will depend on Brown's actions.

1.79Tip and bets
Partizan is in too good a form to easily hand over this encounter to Panathinaikos. Despite the home court factor, we doubt it will be an easy walk for the Greeks. Even in their losing away matches, the Belgrade team did not look hopeless and put up resistance to Crvena Zvezda and Anadolu Efes. In addition, we must not forget that the Serbs crushed the Greeks in the first round match.
Considering all of the above, we assume that Partizan will hold out in Athens and resist the favorite. We suggest giving preference to the Balkan squad.
Our prediction is Partizan with a handicap of (+7.5) points for 1.80
Bet on total
The 172.5 point mark looks too high. Yes, both teams are great in attack, but Partizan's last two Euroleague games were low-scoring. We expect nothing to change significantly in Athens.
Betting Tip - total under 172.5 points for 1.70
Bet on statistics
Nunn has become a real leader for Panathinaikos. In 3 of the last 4 games, the American has scored at least 26 points. On his home court, Kendrick should not perform worse.
Prediction - Kendrick Nunn: Total over 24.5 points at 1.78
