Two away defeats for Panathinaikos last week. The six-times Euroleague Champions suffered a bad performance in Kaunas against Zalgiris 76-69. Two days later they played much better, but they lost again, this time against Bayern 81-78.

Panathinaikos has not the quality to be competitive in the current Euroleague season. Coach Priftis is under pressure, as he has his own share of responsibility for the performances of his team.

Despite this bad momentum, Panathinaikos reacted in a unique way as they beat their rival Olympiakos away for the Greek League. Nemania Nedovic had a magical night. He is a terrific player. but he often has injury problems.

Coach Priftis and his players forced Olympiakos to suffer its first home defeat in the season. That is strong boost for Panathinaikos confidence, and it may affect them in a positive way tonight.

Zenit are in great shape. Last week, Pascual's team won both games they had. First, it was Alba Berlin 75-66 and then it was the great victory against the top table Milano 74-70. In both occasions, it was Zenit's defence which lead them to victory.

At this time, Zenit is probably the best form team in Euroleague. They have five consecutive wins and in summary seven by including two games in VTB League.

Pascual has inspired his players to suffer for any ball, to play fantastic defence, and Zenit seems to be among the teams that can reach to the Final-4.

Apart from the ex-NBAer star Napier, who has not played so far in the season due to injury, there is no other problem for Xavi Pascual. Zenit are ready for another important away win as they did against Efes 20 days ago.

The two teams have faced each other in 4 Euroleague games. Fener has 2 wins, while Zenit has also won 2 times.

Macon vs Loyd

Macon played last year in AEK Athens. Panathinaikos invested in the American guard and he proves that he can play to the highest level in Europe. His role is crucial for Panathinaikos.

Loys is a gifted scorer. He showed his abilities in Belgrade and Valencia. Pascual hia given to him an important role in his team's plays. He can kill his opponents with his shots from down town.
