Following their incredible victory against Real Madrid, Bayern Munich will be playing with a ton of confidence in their Euroleague encounter. Their triumph was due in large part to the efforts of rookies Shabazz Napier and Johannes Voigtmann, who will surely want to keep up the good work. In contrast, Panathinaikos has beaten ALBA Berlin away from home to get off to a solid start to the season. To slow down Bayern’s explosive backcourt duo of Carsen Edwards and Napier, their guards, especially Lorenzo Brown, have been outstanding.
Two forwards, Konstantinos Mitoglou and Vladimir Lucic, will face off in a crucial encounter. Both guys are key club contributors and can score from beyond the arc. How well these forwards can shoot will heavily influence the game’s result.
I expect a high-scoring matchup because of both sides’ attacking prowess and tempo. The total points should be more than 157.5. Based on both teams’ previous results and the likelihood of a high-energy, entertaining battle, we have come to this forecast.
