🔥 Euroleague Double Clash – Greens in Athens, Virtus in Bologna
Panathinaikos AKTOR vs Valencia 📅 Friday, 05 Dec 2025 · 21:15
Panathinaikos arrive in top form, riding a seven-game winning streak (four in Euroleague), capped by a dominant 91–69 victory over Partizan. After struggling for 25 minutes, they unleashed a stunning 25–0 run to seal the game. Kendrick Nunn led with 26 points, while Rogkavopoulos, Faried, Hernangómez, and Sloukas all contributed across the board. Yurtseven is available tonight, but Osman, Samontourov, Holmes, and Lessort remain sidelined.
Valencia also impressed midweek, overcoming Bayern Munich 90–64 after a tight first half. A 10–0 run sparked a decisive 54–27 stretch, with seven players scoring 6+ points. Badio (16), Montero (13), and Moore (13) stood out, though the absences of Braxton Key and López-Arostegui limit their rotation.
👉 Betting Outlook: Panathinaikos’ momentum and depth make them clear favorites. Expect them to win comfortably by 7–9+ points, while the pace and defensive adjustments should keep the Total Under 178 points in play.
Virtus Bologna vs Dubai 📅 Friday, 05 Dec 2025 · 21:30
Virtus Bologna suffered their fifth straight road defeat, narrowly losing 66–64 to Fenerbahce. Despite being close to breaking the streak, late mistakes — a charge by Pajola, a missed rebound, and failure to foul — cost them dearly. Ivanovic’s team struggled offensively (8/27 threes, 30%) and only Morgan (13 pts) and Edwards (11 pts) reached double figures. Brandon Taylor is out, while Smailagic is expected to return.
Dubai, on the other hand, remain perfect at home (5/5), edging Paris 90–89 after a huge comeback from -17. Wright (24 pts, 10/11 FT), Petrusev (19 pts), Anderson (12 pts), and Kabengele (11 pts) led the charge. Avramovic is likely available, but Mason, Musa, Bacon, and Jaiteh are sidelined.
👉 Betting Outlook: Virtus are rightly favorites, especially in Bologna, where they should control the tempo and secure the win. Given both teams’ offensive potential and recent scoring patterns, the Total Over 165 points looks realistic.
