Panathinaikos - Barcelona

This year, the interesting team Maccabi gathered, having a decent offensive potential, and they started Euroleague quite well by giving a tough fight to Efes until the end and ultimately losing by only 7 points after a 11-2 run. I believe in this match-up, Maccabi has a good chance to win and I would even consider them as bigger favorites than the 3 points given to them. Paris team this year is not as strong, as many key players such as Shorts, Ward and the coach have left. I don't see how they have strengthened their team and their first game against El was easily won by Fener. Maccabi may not be Fener, but they can win by at least +10 points.
