Panathinaikos vs Olympiacos Prediction: the Hosts Will Struggle But That Might Not Be Enough to Win

Prediction for the Euroleague match between Panathinaikos vs Olympiacos, which will take place on November 8th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the teams' conditions! Several betting options are available.

Panathinaikos

Pao is pretty convincing at home. They have only played two games at home - against ASVEL and Bayern. The average score on their home floor is 83 points per game, with 73.5 points conceded. Bookmakers don't think it's likely that the hosts will score 83 points in the match against Olympiacos. The odds on the home team's total under 81.5 are pretty low already. 

Olympiacos

Olympiacos failed three of their away games. They conceded between 82 and 91 points in those games, while the average away game is almost 86, with an average of 80 points. We're not convinced about Olympiacos' ability to score and their defense, whether it is as strong as they say. 

Let's also take a closer look at the H2H meetings. Panathinaikos recently scored 78 in Piraeus while conceding 71 in return. Before that, they gained 85 in the Super Cup. All things considered, the numbers don't suggest that the home team is going to have a total under match. 

Expert Betting Tips

On the road, in every match, Olympiacos won the first half but lost the second half. After the big break, they were down by 5-15 points. Conversely, Pao managed to beat even Bayern in the second half, who usually play a fantastic final two quarters. Logically, this is going to be a victory for the hosts and the total over 78.5. But Pao has already lost to Bartsokas' team six Euroleague matches in a row, three - at home. Something bothers them, so Olympiacos' poor second half may not be enough for the Athenians.
