Panathinaikos will host Olympiacos at the Telekom Center Athens for the derby of the 19th Euroleague round. The 'Greens' are in good form with three consecutive wins and are aiming for the top of the standings. The 'Reds', on the other hand, come from two victories and want to improve their position in the table. Samontourov and Lesort are out of the Panathinaikos squad, while Grant's participation is doubtful. Olympiacos will be without Ward, Mackissic, Fal and Evans. The history in the Euroleague shows a clear superiority of Olympiacos with 21 wins against 7 of Panathinaikos, while the 'Reds' count an impressive streak of 9 wins against the 'Greens'.
