Panathinaikos-Real Madrid: penultimate Euroleague encounter
Laso's men will be hoping for a win in Athens as they look to secure second place ahead of the playoffs (8:00pm CET).
The Euroleague Regular Season is drawing to a close, with just two games remaining for Real Madrid before the playoffs get underway. The first takes place in Athens this evening 8:00pm CET. Our team visit Panathinaikos as they look to clinch a victory which would edge them closer to securing second place in the table. Laso's boys have that goal in their own hands and will take the runners-up spot in the league regardless of other results, providing they win their two final fixtures.
Madrid will be hoping to take their domestic league form into Europe following Sunday's good win over Urbas Fuenlabrada. Tonight, they're up against opposition who no longer have a chance of making the playoffs but will want to bid farewell to the home crowd with a win following defeat to Maccabi on Tuesday.
