Olympiacos and Panathinaikos near end of EuroLeague regular season
With only one round remaining in the EuroLeague regular season, Olympiacos has secured its position in the top two and needs a win against Armani Milan on April 16 to clinch first place. If Olympiacos loses, they could drop to second place depending on Valencia's performance against Dubai BC. Conversely, Panathinaikos faces a more precarious situation after an 84-102 loss to Valencia, dropping them to a 21-16 record. To avoid the play-in tournament and secure a direct playoff spot, Panathinaikos must defeat Anadolu Efes on April 17 and rely on a combination of favorable results, specifically losses by Zalgiris Kaunas. Zalgiris currently holds a 21-15 record with remaining games against Partizan and Paris. Analysts suggest that a potential playoff matchup between the two Greek clubs remains mathematically possible if they land in the 7th or 8th positions after the play-in stage. The final standings will be determined following the conclusion of all round 38 fixtures.
