Olympiacos - Panathinaikos

The coefficient is of great value, Pao simply cannot lose the title at home, otherwise they will have to build a new arena for the drug addict... Nigel is a super important player, he plays big minutes in the finals, 33 in the first, 38 in the second, and 36 in the third. According to the score difference between home and away games, it is obvious. In the Olympic arena, he scored 2 and 12, while at home he scored 23 and in Peru. In order for Pao to win against Ghana, it is clear who should be the team leader.

Just too high of a coefficient against Olympiacos, despite ongoing dramas and PAO's complaints about referees. Panathinaikos is no longer the threatening beast that would constantly defend their territory against Oly. This season, Panathinaikos has already been defeated twice as the visitors. Deeper rotation, overall stronger team, and the only worrying factor is the referees, who are not always fair.

The home court advantage in Greece is a very strong factor, and from Pao, I expect to see Peru and an extended final series. The roster capabilities of Pao do not even fall behind Olympiacos, so at home they have to win, not to mention that after a very poor end to the season, Pao seems to be trying harder and fighting for the title, even though they are behind.

Having lost Pao, without three key players, the brave leaders will almost certainly be without changes. That should slow down the pace. They won't run anymore, they will try to calm down and control their emotions in the arena, because in the heat of the moment, the arena will ignite. Greek-style final is too big for this, I'm expecting an ugly game.
