BAY vs PAN Dream11: Panathinaikos hit the road for the round-10 match in EuroLeague as they seek for the back-to-back wins, as do hosts Bayern Munich in front of its own fans at Rudi-Sedlmayer-Halle.
But the pressure to come good will definitely be more on Bayern, not only they are at home, but the team has seen more bad days than the good ones this season, and it’s time they make the right noises in Europe. Bad days only and all in EuroLeague, because the Muenchen have been near flawless in its domestic competition, winning all the first seven games of the new season to sit at the top.
Panathinaikos can feel the same as well as they are sitting at the summit of the Greek Basket League, having started the new campaign with seven straight wins. Though, they have certainly done better in Europe, as they have a positive return in the season with 5-4 record, while Bayern have won four and lost five times in the season already.
