PAN vs ZAL Dream11: Having beaten Bayern Munich in the last round in a high-profile game in EuroLeague, Panathinaikos will be looking to build on that good result when they play host to Zalgiris Kaunas in EuroLeague round-20 match at O.A.C.A. Olympic Indoor Hall, in Athens, on Friday night (IST).
Zalgiris Kaunas, meanwhile, may be outside the playoffs at the moment but they are in a better form than what their lowly 15th position may indicate. The visitors arrive in this game with four wins in the last five games.
Head-to-head:
This will be the 24th meeting between these two teams in EuroLeague since 2000. Panathinaikos lead the head-to-head record with 17 wins, including the two in the last two games.
