Virtus is much stronger than Panathinaikos. The Italians should beat the Greeks, but they can’t yet find any consistency. The team from Bologna could well lose, although, if the game goes their way, they might be able to take a win away from Greece. We suggest taking a risk. Perhaps Sergio Scariolo can find the right words to set up his charges.
Panathinaikos is a productive team at home. The Greeks are averaging over 80 points at home. Radonjic’s men need to improve, so it’s unlikely they’ll opt for a defensive game.
Panathinaikos is the main disappointment of the season. The Greek team is performing very poorly and is deservedly in last place in the standings. In eight games, Radonjic’s men have won just two.
It’s worth noting that Panathinaikos has won only one game at home in the Euroleague. Somehow, the Greeks managed to defeat Saski Baskonia (93-83). Then, however, Radonjic’s men lost immediately, disparagingly to Fenerbahce (77-107).
In Panathinaikos’ last game against Fenerbahce, Dwayne Bacon scored 20 points, 5 rebounds and 1 assist.
Panathinaikos has lost 75% of its home games this season.
Panathinaikos players are averaging 15.9 assists per game this season.
Before the start of the season, Virtus was expected to play better. The Italians have a fairly good selection of players. However, thus far, they’ve been unimpressive in their play. Sergio Scariolo’s men have lost exactly half of their games. That’s why they’re ninth in the standings.
Perhaps their recent successes will give the Italians more confidence in their abilities. After all, they’d won their previous two Euroleague games. First, the team from Bologna defeated Olimpia (64:59). After that, they defeated Valencia (89-59).
In Virtus Bologna’s last game against Valencia, Jordan Mickey scored 16 points and 6 rebounds.
Virtus Bologna has won 50% of its away meetings.
The team is averaging 15.6 assists per game this season.
The Greeks have scored more than 77 points in 3 of their last 5 games. We offer to bet on “Virtus Points Over 77.5” with odds of 1.936.
In our opinion, the teams will take to the field with the following line-ups:
Panathinaikos: Nate Wolters – Mateusz Ponitka – Dwayne Bacon – Derrick Williams – Georgios Papagiannis.
Virtus Bologna: Daniel Hackett – Gabriel Lundberg – Semi Ojeleye – Tornike Shengelia – Mouhammadou Jaiteh.
The fixture will be played at O.A.C.A. Olympic Indoor Hall (19.250) in Athens, Greece.
This starting whistle will sound on the 23rd of November 2022, at 19:00 UK Time.
