This match is extremely important for several reasons, from the arrival of Obradović to the direct clash for the quarterfinal. Although Panathinaikos are supposedly the favorites, I don't see them as such. Their only advantage in my opinion is the full OAKA arena, but in this situation (Obradović) that atmosphere might be a double edged sword and put pressure on the home team. Panathinaikos are lagging behind in quality and will have huge problems on offense, as Fener can play extremely aggressive defense, while PAO don't have the paint game to weaken that pressure. It will all boil down to endless pick-and-rolls, mainly via Diamantidis, and if there is anyone who knows how to stop that, its Željko Obradović. On the other hand, Panathinaikos' defense have already shown, in the Istanbul match, that they cannot parry Fener, who attack from all five positions. The key position today will be that of the power forward, where once again we won't see Gist, and Fener have Bjelica and Kleiza who are great on offense, and will tilt the scale in favor of the away team in my opinion. In closing, the quality of the players, the coach, the return of Obradović, injury of Gist and even their current form, all those favor the away team, and Fener is way ahead at these odds. A counterhandicap would be a safer option, of course, though I'm positive there is no need for that.
