Maccabi Tel Aviv
The Israeli club looks solid in the current season, the team finished seventh in the regular season, although it fell behind the top six only by extra points. Despite the fact that Maccabi plays its home games in Serbia, the team plays very well on this neutral parquet. The situation is such that it's necessary to take the opponent down now, because the fifth game will be in Greece, and the atmosphere there is different.
As before, the teams have one personnel loss, most likely American Baldwin will not be able to play.
Panathinaikos
Given their high second place in the Euroleague regular season, Panathinaikos was expected to do better in the playoffs. Now the situation is such that the club is one step away from elimination from the tournament. You can't say that the team is inferior to the opponent, because twice they lost in the final seconds, the difference in the score was 4 and 2 points.
Now there's no margin for error, and they need to win a formal away game, even though it's on a neutral court. Hernangomez remains injured for Panathinaikos.
