Valencia travelled to Athens and they had their third loss on the row. Panathinaikos was far better than the Spanish side and never trailed until they beat them 91-72. Valencia dropped to 11-12 and now they face their future in this year's campaign with less confidence. For Valencia Klemen Prepelic led his team with 20 points, while Martin Hermannsson had 13 and Vanja Marinkovic added 11 more. But they were simply not enough.

As the rounds go by Valencia must start winning immediately. Starting from tonight. Even if they are hosting CSKA Moscow. And in order to do that they must control the pace. Guillem Vives and Sam Van Rossom will guard Mike James and try to stop him. While the hosts will have to keep on their good work in distributing the ball. Valencia dishes 1.72 assists for each turnover, ranking second in Euroleague. A lot of work for Valencia in this game.

Bayern Munich travelled at Moscow and absolutely shocked CSKA. The Bavarian side won 66-69 at the Russian capital, mainly because they managed to dictate their pace. They played very well in defence and didn't let any reaction from the hosts. Nikola Milutinov scored 16 points for CSKA, while Darrun Hilliard had 15 and Toko Shengelia 11, but Mike James was disappointing. And that cost a lot to CSKA.

Joel Bolomboy and Voigtmann are expected to have more time now that Nicola Milutinov is sidelined. Dimitris Itoudis has to find a different plan for his team and it is most likely to start from tonight. They will have a difficult task against Valencia centers Dubljevic and Mike Tobey. And a chance to prove themselves by helping their team to get another win.

The overall record in Euroleague since 2000, is Valencia v CSKA Moscow 2-5.

CSKA's dominance on the paint is in doubt after the shocking injury of Nikola Milutinov. Until the end of the season, Toko Sengelia will have a different and much demanding role in the team. Starting from tonight. The forward from Georgia will face a skilled all-around player, Louis Labeyrie. The French forward is having a great season on Valencia and he literally lives for clashes like this one. Those two are expecting to offer us a unique spectacle.
