Re: Basketball Euroleague Round 3 Olimpija - Panathinaikos Pick: Olimpija (+8,5) @ 1.9 Expekt 7/10 Reasoning: Since the departure of coach Mohorič, Olimpija started to play surprisingly much better. Their lastest three matches only confirm that. Cibona away - lost 83-86 (ABA-NLB league) Lottomatica home - win 83-72 (Euroleague) Bosna away - win 78-69 (ABA-NLB league) They are also nearly back in full strenght as star playmaker Arslan and veteran Ivica Jurkovič are expected to play tonight, but Ožbolt is missing from tonights roster. Good news for the home team is also that Marko MIlič (the crowd favourite) is playing very well recently and is finding his old form. Panathinaikos won their first two EL matches away to Jovnetut 82-79, and at home to Cibona 86-69, the later win is IMO much to big, as Cibona was only six points behind at the end of the last quarter. I will not be betting on the straight win, but the handicap margin is simply to good to ignore, especially at 1.9 odds. IMO the HW is also possible, not just because Olimpija is playing better but also the home crowd will create a wonderful athmosphere in the Tivoli arena (already sold out) and is always a sixth player for the home team.
