Panathinaikos vs Baskonia Prediction 22 October 2026
🏀 Panathinaikos are set to face Baskonia in their upcoming EuroLeague clash. The hosts boast an impressive offensive arsenal, which often compensates for any defensive lapses. Baskonia, currently struggling for form, are unlikely to mount a serious challenge through their defense alone. Expect an open contest and plenty of scoring fireworks.
Head-to-Head
📊 The last meeting between these sides took place in January, with Panathinaikos claiming a 93-74 victory. Looking at their past five head-to-head clashes, the Greek giants also hold a slight edge, leading the series 3-2 in wins.
Head-to-head statistics Panathinaikos - Baskonia
Panathinaikos: the hosts are strong going forward
The Greek side have claimed seven wins in their last eight outings. True, they did fall short against Hapoel in their previous EuroLeague fixture (81-91), but the team look like a different force on home court. Backed by their fans, they average around 91 points per game. Their shooting efficiency is impressive as well, with nearly 49% of their field goals finding the mark. The roster gives them the ability to dominate both in the paint and from beyond the arc, and they pair that with an up-tempo style of play. Against Baskonia, this shouldn’t pose much of a problem. The hosts are more than capable of pulling away early on the scoreboard. In these circumstances, occasional lapses on defense are an acceptable trade-off.

Saski Baskonia: The visitors are in crisis
The visitors have suffered four defeats in their last five outings. They've recently changed head coach, but it's unlikely the team will transform overnight. By the competition’s standards, their roster isn’t among the strongest. The most glaring issue is their defense - they concede an average of 94 points per game, one of the worst marks in the league. Offensively, they look average for this tournament, putting up around 84 points per game. That might be down to their high tempo, as they struggle significantly with efficiency. However, Panathinaikos are likely to allow some open looks, and the Spanish side do have quality shooters in their ranks. So even if they can’t pull off a win, they should at least be able to deliver a respectable performance.

Over their last 10 games, Panathinaikos have claimed 8 wins, while their opponents have managed just 4. On home court, Panathinaikos have secured 6 victories in this stretch, with Saski Baskonia picking up only a single away win. Notably, Panathinaikos have covered the -11.5 handicap at home in each of their last five EuroLeague head-to-head meetings with this opponent.

Total Prediction
Over their last 10 games, Panathinaikos are averaging 89.2 points per outing, with that number climbing to 92 when they play at home. Baskonia post a similar mark, averaging exactly 89 points per game, though their away average dips to around 85.25.

With that in mind, let’s back over 169.5 total points at odds of 1.65.
⭐ Editorial Prediction
Panathinaikos enter this matchup as clear favourites, and it's hard to see Baskonia mounting enough of a challenge to force a tense finish. While the Basques are unlikely to let their opponents pull too far ahead, the Greek powerhouse should be able to dictate the tempo - especially on the offensive end. Our editorial team expects both sides to push the pace and generate plenty of scoring opportunities, leading to a high-scoring affair. The smart bet here is on over 169.5 total points.
