Panathinaikos will welcome Anadolu Efes for Game 5 of their EuroLeague quarter-final playoffs. This series is tied at 2-2. The winner will advance to the Final Four for a semi-final showdown with Fenerbahce. Read on to find our prediction for this match.

Panathinaikos have home court advantage in this series, but it hasn’t looked like it. They will hope to rise to the occasion and make it count in this do-or-die game.

Ergin Ataman’s men took Game 1 at home but lost Game 2. They would steal Game 3 in Turkey but were unable to close out the series last time out, forcing Game 5.

The Greek giants are the defending European champions and have won two of three Game 5s in their history. Kendrick Nunn, Cedi Osman, Kostas Sloukas and Omer Yurtseven are averaging at least 10 points in the playoffs.

Anadolu Efes fought back each time they went behind in this series. This has shown the resilience and character within the squad.

They cannot afford to go behind again, as this is now a win-or-go-home situation. Luca Banchi’s men outlasted Panathinaikos’ valiant fightback in the fourth quarter to win 85-82 in Game 4.

Elijah Bryant, who is averaging 13 points, led the team with 19 points. Shane Larkin, their leading scorer, had a slow game and poured in just nine points.
