Panathinaikos vs Olimpia Milano 27 October 2026 Prediction

Teams with opposite 6-1 and 1-6 records meet in the next round of the EuroLeague regular season. First-place Panathinaikos hosts Milan, which sits near the bottom of the standings. The betting market makes the hosts clear favorites, but can Milan keep it close?

Panathinaikos Has Shown Some Vulnerability

Panathinaikos beat Baskonia 85-79 last week, rebounding from a home loss to stay atop the EuroLeague standings. Manager Zeljko Obradovic’s team is 6-1 and holds the tiebreaker over Fenerbahce, which has the same record. Panathinaikos beat the Istanbul club 92-74 three weeks ago.

Shooting guard Nunn returned against Baskonia and finished with 11 points and five assists. While he works his way back into form, Lessort has averaged 12.6 points and 6.4 rebounds, and Francisco has contributed 15 points and 5.4 assists per game. Francisco has settled into his new team’s system quickly.

Panathinaikos Predicted Lineup: Nunn, Grant, Francisco, Hayes, Lessort

Unavailable: Kouzeloglou (not in the squad)

Manager: Zeljko Obradovic

Milan Has Lost Five Straight EuroLeague Games

Three consecutive home games did not stop Milan’s losing streak. It fell 98-89 to Real Madrid, 101-97 to Dubai and 89-81 to Barcelona. Its only EuroLeague win remains an 87-85 victory over fellow Italian club Virtus in Round 2. Virtus has since moved into the top 10, while Milan is 1-6.

Milan made 14 three-pointers against Barcelona but still lost. Its three-point shooting has been respectable, but other problems remain. Milan is shooting 43.7% from the field and allowing 92.6 points per game. Hall has averaged 9.9 points and 4.7 assists, while Peters has put up 10.3 points and 4.1 rebounds.

Milan Predicted Lineup: Thompson, Hall, Matthews, Peters, Wright

Unavailable: None

Manager: Giuseppe Poeta

Panathinaikos Has Lost Three Straight to Milan

Milan caused Panathinaikos problems in last season’s EuroLeague. The Italian club won 96-89 at home and 87-74 on the road.

Panathinaikos vs Milan Prediction: Milan Handicap +16.5

Main prediction: A repeat of last season’s wins will be difficult for Milan, but a 16.5-point spread gives it room to stay competitive. Panathinaikos has not scored freely in its last two EuroLeague home games, losing 91-81 to Hapoel and beating Baskonia 85-79. Milan, meanwhile, routed Napoli in Serie A and pushed Dubai in a 101-97 loss. The pick is Milan +16.5 at 1.62.

Total prediction: A slower game also looks likely. Panathinaikos averages 73.6 possessions per 40 minutes, and Milan averages 74.2; both rank among the EuroLeague’s five slowest teams. Milan’s 43.7% field-goal shooting could make scoring difficult against Panathinaikos. The hosts have also scored 85 points or fewer in five of their last six games across all competitions. The secondary pick is under 166.5 total points at 1.75.
