Prediction published on 24/01/2024, 09:06  by Kennedy Kechula in EuroLeague Predictions

Maccabi Tel Aviv will be seeking to get back to winning ways when they welcome Panathinaikos next in the Euro League. They come into this round 23 fixture sitting ninth in the standings while Panathinaikos are fourth. Maccabi Tel Aviv have lost their last three matches and will be eager to halt this skid. Having already defeated Panathinaikos this season, Oded Kattash’s men will be confident of success here. Tel Aviv won the first matchup of the campaign with their Greek opponents back in October by five points away from home. The Israeli heavyweights are coming off an 86-78 defeat to Kiryat Ata in the domestic Super League. Maccabi, who are averaging 85.6 points in the Euro League, have lost three of their last four games in the division. Lorenzo Brown is expected to not feature in this match due to injury.

Panathinaikos are in red-hot form at the moment and have won their last seven matches. They defeated Greek rivals Olympiacos 85-80 last time out to confirm that indeed they are the team to beat at the moment. The win allowed them to pull further clear of Olympiacos at the top of the Greek domestic topflight. Ergin Ataman’s men have won 14 of their 22 Euro League games and only the top three have won more. They have compiled a 5-5 away record and with Tel Aviv struggling, they will be confident of coming out on top here. The Greens, who have the eighth-ranked offence in the continent, are averaging 82.1 points. Kostas Sloukas will be absent for this match and is expected to be out for at least a week with a thigh issue.
