Maroussi Team News
From the beginning of the season, Maroussi has been playing very poorly, at best inconsistently. In the first 11 rounds of the Greek League, the team has only recorded four wins. In their last match, they hosted Kolossos Rhodes and celebrated without major problems.
Like all teams of similar quality in Greece, Maroussi largely depends on the performance of foreign players, and the reason is very simple—there are not enough quality domestic players. Maroussi’s jersey has been worn by a large number of players this season, and some of them have already left the team. Players have changed, but the playing style has not. Maroussi has been playing at a very fast pace from the beginning. Isaiah Briscoe is undoubtedly the star player of this team, and we believe that he will play for a considerably stronger team next season. Miroslav Raduljica shows that he can still deliver excellent performances at this level.
Now, the team faces Panathinaikos as their guest, a team that is playing in line with the investments they made during the summer. Maroussi must deliver their best performance of the season to be able to compete with the guests.
Panathinaikos Team News
Panathinaikos is once again in good form, having won six consecutive wins in the last 15 days. In their latest match, they defeated the Crvena Zvezda in the 17th round of the EuroLeague. As for the Greek League, Panathinaikos has a perfect record with 11 wins.
So far this season, at least in the context of the Greek League, Panathinaikos is living up to expectations and the investments made. They have achieved all 11 wins and currently hold the first place in the standings. Kendrick Nunn seems to be the missing piece that the team led by Ergin Ataman needed to become even more quality and a dangerous rival. Mathias Lessort shows that the previous season was not a fluke and continues to play phenomenally this year, as does Konstantinos Mitoglou, who, after suspension, has returned in the best possible way.
On the last day of 2023, the team visits Maroussi. We believe they will approach the match seriously, as they need to maintain the top spot after the league stage of the championship to have home court advantage in the finals against Olympiacos.

Maroussi vs Panathinaikos Prediction
Without any doubt, Panathinaikos is the absolute favorite in this match, and anything other than their win would be a significant upset. However, immediately after this match, they face a double round in the EuroLeague with two away games in Spain. We believe that for this reason, the Panathinaikos may reduce the intensity once they establish a lead, and in such a scenario, the host in this match could mount an offensive challenge.
