Bayern - Panathinaikos

I think the coefficient for Panathinaikos is too high. The Greek club is significantly superior and the form of Bayern doesn't seem strong enough to beat PAO. It's only one game per week, so we shouldn't expect many surprises, but this coefficient is worth paying attention to.

The fantastic revenge against Zvezda was, now it's time for revenge against Maccabi. I believe conclusions will be made after analyzing that painful loss in Kaunas. We will work on defense and Cisco will be aggressive in offense, even when Goss and enough time to shine are missing. With decreased rotation, only the best defenders will come in handy for Zalgiris. We have seen this before when Goss was injured. Maccabi doesn't seem as confident lately, with 3 losses in the Euroleague, so it's necessary to take advantage of this weaker team if we are still thinking about making it to the playoffs.

Unfortunately, Goss sustained an injury, but he returned to the rotation and Giedraitis. Maccabi had a big question mark over Lonnie Walker. Kaunas Jews played a really good game and they will not be forgotten, but Zalgiris looked tragic and played tragically. There is no miracle for Maccabi, especially when they are the favorites. Zalgiris looked great at the Hapoel arena, so the fans are already familiar and ready to make friends. If Zalgiris does not improve their 28% shooting accuracy, they will definitely struggle against Peru.

Despite the intense green, all the pieces will be neatly arranged, everyone will feel important and will have something to contribute. Cisco is on its own, but it should also shoot something unexpected - like Jews in rough defense. The situation of the players on the home side is unclear at times, but their return could bring some harmony. I am waiting for an open match, and the greens know how to control such situations, especially after having recently recharged from them.

It seems that there is a little more confidence, scoring 7 points in the last two games. In general, during those minutes on the court, he makes a lot of shots. Against Maccabi, he can also use his physical strength. In Kaunas, when the game does not work for everyone, Ignas scored 10 points. It seems like a suitable weapon to use in this style of basketball.

Before the break, from what I could see, it looked like a great game. They were throwing from far away with great confidence, even though they were playing under pressure. Quite agile, but not comfortable. The green under the baskets doesn't shine, so the Belarusian team will have many opportunities, especially to compensate for the lack of leaders.

Having reached their peak form, Monaco is now able to demonstrate better basketball in Europe than ever before. With 5 wins in a row, including defeating Real Madrid and breaking Valencia's impressive winning streak, they have proven themselves on the court. Now they are headed to Paris to face a team that is closer to the bottom than to the playoffs, and I believe Monaco's current form will lead them to victory. They have already beaten Paris 3-0 this season, on all fronts, with each win by a margin of 5 or more points. There are no new injuries, although it is unclear if Theis will play, but I believe Monaco can overcome this loss against Valencia in this match.

I have a feeling that Paris ascent of results is coming now, because they always play consistently, but the spark only appears with winners. At home, by the star courtside, the guys have fun, run, throw, and it's tough to play against such a mood. Monaco is experienced, wins everything, but sometimes has to give in during a game marathon when James or other defenders get hot.
