Predicted Outcome
Real Madrid is favored to secure victory at home. Their superior recent form (4-1 in last 5), dominant head-to-head advantage (25-12 all-time), and home court advantage position them as clear favorites. However, Panathinaikos demonstrated in their March 2025 meeting that they can compete, particularly on defensive efficiency.
