Barcelona to Win
Playing at the Palau Blaugrana, Barcelona have won eight of their previous ten fixtures both in the ACB and the Euroleague. Moreover, Barca have not lost to Panathinaikos in 11 matches at home dating back to March 2011.
Panathinaikos +12.5 Points Handicap
In their last three home games, Barcelona failed against the 12.5 handicap losing one and winning the other two by under 11 points. In the previous four trips to Barcelona, Panathinaikos covered the suggested handicap in three of them.
Over 151.5 Points
The average number of points scored by Barcelona in the Euroleague is 79.65 points per game while Panathinaikos’s is 81.2. Barcelona’s six of their last ten fixtures and all of the last six h2h meetings produced over 151.5 total points.
Barcelona
Barcelona returned from Monaco with an important win by 69-63 and improved their win/loss record to 9-4 and are now in the fourth position on the Euroleague standings. After winning the first three quarters, the Blaugrana eased down in the fourth and scored only nine points.
This was Barca’s lowest offensive performance as they averaged 76.6 points per game during the season which is the second-worst in the Euroleague. However, Barca owe this win to their incredible shooting from the arc as they made 14 of their 31 attempts with a 45.2% shooting.
Panathinaikos
This is Panathinaikos’s second road game in three days as they remain in Spain after playing Valencia on Tuesday. It wasn’t a pleasant experience in Valencia as the Greens went down in overtime after both teams were locked at 84 points at the end of regular time.
Shooting 42.3% (26-11) from the arc didn’t save the Greek side from a seventh defeat in the season. Coach Dejan Radonjic’s team couldn’t stop Valencia to make 65.7% of their two-point shots. Another worrying aspect for Radonjic is the fact that his team hasn’t beaten Barcelona in seven games since 2018.
Barcelona bounced back from their latest home defeat and beat Monaco on the road. The Catalans are eager to keep create a winning run and we don’t think they will face much trouble in making it two wins in a row in the Euroleague on Friday.
Barcelona failed to score more than 78 points in all of their previous four games. With odds of 1.93 at 1XBet, we predict Barcelona to score under 82.5 points.
