Our Alba vs. Panathinaikos prediction is for the reigning Euroleague champions to get the win in Round 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alba didn’t show any improvement during the preseason, and if things continue as they are now, the Albatros will again be near the bottom of the standings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Panathinaikos had a super team last year, and they added even more star power this summer, landing several top players, most of them from the NBA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
[Odds on Alba vs. Panathinaikos have not been released yet. Please check back at a later date.]<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n Many will be surprised to hear that after eight meetings in this Euroleague format, Alba and Panathinaikos have four wins each. Last season, the Greek side triumphed in both though, 85-99 in Berlin and 84-75 at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The hosts haven’t changed their roster much, but they did for two important players, Sterling Brown and Johannes Thiemann, left. We can’t say that the team from Berlin managed to find decent replacements for these two guys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Alba posted sub-average results during the preseason. Their game was mediocre, often inconsistent, and without creativity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In one true test, against Anadolu Efes, they lost 79-64. This result pretty much indicates the Albatros’ future during the EuroLeague season\u2014that is, if they don’t drastically improve.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAlba vs. Panathinaikos Head-to-Head Stats<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
