BAR vs PAN Dream11 Match Prediction
BAR vs PAN Dream11: Barcelona will be eying the top-spot when they play host to Greek giants Panathinaikos in round-13 of EuroLeague 2019-20 season at Palau Blaugrana, in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain.
EuroLeague form:
Barcelona are 3rd on the table, two games behind leaders Anadolu Efes and a game worse off than their eternal rivals Real Madrid having played a game less than both these teams.
Barcelona have lost just three times in 12 EuroLeague games, but two of those defeats came in the last five matches. But before drawing any conclusion about their form, on most consider that those two opponents were – defending champions CSKA Moscow and the goliath of Spanish Basketball Real Madrid.
Panathinaikos, on the other hand, are hot as well, after string together a four-game winning run heading into this match. One of the wins was an away 75-87 victory over Bayern Munich. Impressive, they have been in the last few weeks.
The visitors are only a game behind Barcelona as a result.
Head-to-head:
This is a historic matchup as these two teams are the giants of European Basketball. The fixture has played out exactly as you would expect, with nothing separating these two teams in the overall head-to-head.
