Panionios put up a very good resistance in the first 20 minutes in Belgrade last week. The defense held on, the offense was concentrated and they were on a par. Their defense fell apart in the second half and Zvezda got away, but the game still ended in 148 points. It is no wonder as coaches Sferopoulos and Radonjić are primarily defense-oriented coaches and we should expect a similar game today. This margin has been based on the the games in the second phase of Eurocup without taking the wider picture into consideration. Panionios are killing everyone at home with their defense. They sometimes fail in away games as their defense doesn't always work and then they get high-scoring games. At home, they went under in 11 out of 14 games with this margin. Interestingly enough, Zvezda also have 11 unders in 14 games for this margin. Today's game is the last chance for Panionios to get a win in the second phase of the competition which means the motivation is there. Zvezda have to win to keep up with Bilbao and Nizhny. Both teams play great defense, both coaches love organized attacks and I would set a margin with some 10 points less than this so I will take this with a higher stake.
