These days the schedule is relentless with the playoffs of all the leagues attracting great interest in terms of betting as well. We focus on the Greek and Turkish leagues.
In the Greek championship the semifinals are getting under way and in the first game Panathinaikos are expected to struggle against PAOK. The “greens” will not have Batista, but also Pappas and Gist who will be out until the end of the season. They are definitely not in a good condition and the visitors can put up some resistance and defend the double-digit handicap.
On the other side, Olympiacos are in excellent form and are winning all the games easily. They are not expected to have the slightest problem against Aris in the confrontation at the SEF. Indeed, the 16,5 point differential seems rather small.
Finally, Fenerbahce will not be in the mood for… joking around in the life or death game against Galatasaray. In the third game of the semifinals the champions are expected to dominate quite easily and to break out in response to their defeat in the second game.
