Panathinaikos vs Olympiakos Prediction: Who will turn out to be stronger?

Prediction for the match between Panathinaikos and Olympiakos which will take place on October 6. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Panathinaikos

The team has changed dramatically, with Ergin Ataman on the coaching bridge and a dozen new players on the roster. No one knows what they can and can't do.

The Athenians haven't shown anything new so far - last Saturday, they lost the Greek Super Bowl final to Olympiacos 51:75. They were 22:41 in rebounds. That's with Lessort, Hernangomez, and Adetokumbo in the lineup. And in assists, 7:19. That's with Sloukas and Vildoza in the lineup.

Anyway, there are a lot of names, and this team still hasn't started playing basketball.

Olympiakos

The team lost Soukas and Vesenkov but gained Brazdeikis, Sikma, and Williams-Goss. Finally, Nikola Milutinov returned to his hometown club. We believe Olympiacos didn't slump in any of the lines and strengthened at number five.

Nevertheless, Bartsokas may have a problem, as all his Greeks, Fal, Brazdeikis, and Milutinov, have recently returned from their World Cup teams. Too many national teams have spent too much effort before the club season started. It won't be easy for Olympiacos to make it to the Final Four again.

As for the head-to-head matchups, it's a nightmare - Pao has won only one of their last 15 matches, and their previous meeting in Athens wasn't completed.

Expert Betting Tips

Most bookmakers believe that the teams have equal chances to win. Some even favor the hosts of the parquet. We'll allow ourselves to disagree with them. As long as Bartsokas has everyone healthy and able to fulfill their tasks, the team gathered the day before yesterday and led by Ataman won't have an equal chance against Olympiacos.
