Barcelona will host Panathinaikos in the match of the second round of group E Euroleague.
I think we have very nice value on Panathinaikos. Both teams are not in very good form but still Panathinaikos looks something better. Barcelona have only one win in last 5 matches. They beat Real Madrid but lost from some very poor teams like Estudiantes, Xacobeo and Bilbao. Also they lost from Alba in first round of Euroleague with 10 points difference.
Panathinaikos on other side have 2 wins in last 5 matches, but they had some very tough matches. They lost from PAOK, Olympiakos and Barcelona. But in Euroleague they started well with victory against Maccabi Tel Aviv. For this match they will be stronger for DeMarcus Nelson who missed match against PAOK.
Barcelona beat Panathinaikos 2 times this season in group phase, but now situation is totally different and I think that Panathinaikos could surprise them. However I will go on something safer option and take Panathinaikos with +8.5 handicap
