26/02/2015 19:45 – Maccabi Electra Tel Aviv v Panathinaikos Athens
There is a strong argument for making this game the Game of the Week and if you have a keen interest in Euroleague betting, you will be glued to this Group E game. Both teams are currently tied for second place with a 5-2 record, so there is all to play for. When the teams met in the opening week of the Top 16, we were served up a classic in Greece.
The home side managed to turn around a double-digit score line in the third-quarter to grab the 83-76 win and Esteban Batista was in sparkling form, grabbing 16 points in the win. Given that Maccabi slipped to a home defeat before the break, they will be desperate to prevent that from happening again and they will want to take revenge on Panathinaikos for the earlier loss.
