The favorite for the title is Panathinaikoshowever the Olympic can claim the title in the championship finals, as pointed out by Nikos Zervas to News Bulletin 247.
“Olympiakos’ great asset has become a disadvantage, since Fal is injured and Wright has been rightly left out of the foreign sevens. If Milutinov is at 80-90% of what he’s capable of, the odds increase. The opponent has the momentum after winning the Euroleague, it also has the home advantage. Panathinaikos is a very big favorite, but that does not mean that Olympiacos is written off. He has the entity to be competitive and take the championship“, he pointed out.
“I don’t think we can see anything different that teams don’t expect. In other words, it will no longer be a surprise if Papanikolaou plays several minutes at ‘4’ or if we see formations with Juancho and Mitoglou together. Both teams have answers to whatever the opposition tries, so personalities and unexpected X-factors will come into play more. They could, for example, have been Larentzakis or Mitrou-Long for Olympiakos, or for Panathinaikos Kalaitzakis or even Balcherovski, who I see lately has a role“, he added.
