Baskonia vs Panathinaikos Prediction: the Greeks to Outplay the Opponent For the Second Time

A month ago, Baskonia suffered their worst defeat of the season so far in Athens. They lost there by 35 points. Sadly, the team, coached by Pablo Laso, will not be able to win back their pride. At least not this time.

Baskonia

The schedule is tough not only on Real Madrid, but all Spanish teams, who will have to play their seventh game in 2025 on Thursday and Friday. The team is getting weaker and weaker, especially in defense. On Tuesday, Baskonia let Olympiacos gain 89 points in the game, even though they had averaged 78.5 points at home before that. They have only scored more than 89 points in away games this season.

This was the second home defeat in a row for the Basques. The bookmakers think there will be a third.

Panathinaikos

Ataman's team has failed four of their last five away matches. On Wednesday, they lost to Barcelona and now have an away record of 5:6. In addition, in Catalonia, Pao only earned 73 points, which is lower than their home scoring average of 79. The Greeks only managed to make 28% of their three-pointers, and Kendrick Nunn only earned seven points in 31 minutes of play, hitting one of seven from the perimeter. This is an extra reason for Panathinaikos to get ready to do their best.

In December, Baskonia had a doubleheader week in Athens, including a second away match. The result was better than expected.

Stats Betting

On Thursday, Real Madrid committed five more fouls than Olympiacos. We think this match will go the same way.

Expert Betting Tips

The Basques' squad is small and their schedule is tough. We don't see how Baskonia will win, and how they'll be able to defend well either.
