VAL vs PAN Dream11: Having lost in the last game, Valencia Basket will be looking for an immediate response when they host Panathinaikos in EuroLeague round-22 match at Pavelló Municipal Font de San Lluís, as they look to get to playoff reckoning once again. That said, Valencia are in a good nick overall at the moment than they have been at any point in the season, as they have six wins from their last nine EuroLeague games. That return has propelled the team back into the playoff contention, as only the point difference is keeping them away from 8th Fenerbahce heading into this game. Panathinaikos, meanwhile, are seventh in the standing. They also look set to win the Greek Basket League, after recording 15 wins from the first 17 games. In their last game, the Greek side won 100-88 against ASVEL, to improve their record to 13-8 on the season.
Head-to-head:
This will be the 6th meeting between these two teams in EuroLeague since 2000. Panathinaikos won the first three encounters, but Valencia Basket won both the games last season.
