Although Maccabi Tel Aviv is attempting to move closer to the playoff zone in the EuroLeague, its chances of doing so in the ninth round are slim. This is especially true given that it will be travelling to Athens to play the reigning champion Panathinaikos. Despite being the favourite, the Panathinaikos team has struggled with consistency throughout the season, including two losses away from home.
**Meetings with Direct Competitors**
Maccabi has a 21-match winning streak in the head-to-head series, giving them an advantage over their opponent. In the previous year’s regular season, they were victorious over Panathinaikos on two occasions but were defeated in the quarterfinal playoff series.

In the EuroLeague, Panathinaikos has suffered three defeats, including two on the road. They were defeated by Olympiacos at home not too long ago despite making a remarkable comeback in the fourth quarter. On the other hand, Maccabi has a record of alternating wins and losses, with only one loss occurring at their home stadium.
There is a match prediction.
As a result of Panathinaikos’ impressive home record and Maccabi’s struggles on the road, Panathinaikos is the favourite to win the match. The scoring averages of both teams are high, with each scoring more than 80 points per game. As a result, we advise placing bets on a total that is greater than 163.5 points.
