Both teams are facing each other in different mood. While the hosts are playing hard battle for first two places, Panathinaikos have nothing to play for. They have four defeat in first four games, so everything is gone for them. They can play just for the pride, nothing else.Here is the current situation in the group:

1. Barcelona 4W - 1L  (+51)

2. Partizan 3W - 1L  (+1)

3. Maroussi 2W - 3L  (-30)

4. Panathinaikos 0W - 4L   (-22)

But there is something more - Partizan is complete, while Panathinaikos is without Nikola Pekovic. It is a big handicap for Panathinaikos.

So, Partizan have three very important advantages. First of all it is the home advantage. No doubt there will be more then 8000 spectators in Pionir. So, when Partizan won against Barcelona in front of their own fans, it will be easier against Panathinaikos.

Second advantage comes from the fact that motivation factor is on Partizan side. If Partizan win tonight, then no matter of the results of last round, Maroussi will be without chance for progress. And Panathinaikos on other hand have no motivation. They are without any chance.

And the third advantage is fact that Partizan is complete, while Panathinaikos is without Pekovic. I think it is enough for home victory.
