Panathinaikos vs Real Madrid Prediction and Picks: The Shamrock Cover The Spread
- Selection: Panathinaikos -4.5
- Best Odds: 1.91
- Bookmaker: bet365
- Stakes: 5/10
Real’s 4-9 record on the road stands out when looking at the home/road splits for these two teams. Panathinaikos have been especially dominant at OAKA Altion, claiming 11 wins from 13 games.
This spread is giving Real a bit more respect than they deserve. They have been abysmal on the road this year, while OAKA Altion is one of the toughest places to visit in European hoops. Panathinaikos have the superior underlying numbers and should win this at a canter.

Panathinaikos News, Injury Report, Schedule: On A Roll
With the second-best offensive rating and third-best net rating, Panathinaikos have been an elite team in the EuroLeague all season. Especially formidable at home with an 11-2 record, the Greek team have won nine games in a row across all competitions, with some exceptional play at both ends of the floor.
Having beaten Olympiacos, Fenerbahce, and ASVEL since the start of February, the Greens are a high-powered offence. Olympiacos are the only team to hold them below 90 points since the start of this winning streak.
Real Madrid News, Injury Report, Schedule: Slowly Improving
Since losing to Fenerbahce and Anadolu Efes in a double-header early last month, Real Madrid have reeled off six wins from seven games. A win over Barcelona last week is the only triumph in the EuroLeague over that period, however, so the club from the Spanish capital need to maintain this good form in Europe’s top club competition.
Only the bottom five teams have fewer road wins than Real. Their defence has been elite this season, but they are still only seventh in net rating.
