Panathinaikos A.O.

Panathinaikos and AEK will face off this Sunday in what looks like a league final, albeit with another three games left to play, following their easy victories in the sixth round of the Super League playoffs on Wednesday.

Olympiakos missed the chance to clinch the top spot of the Euroleague table for the regular season, going down on Thursday at Red Star Belgrade, while Panathinaikos lost to visiting Alba Berlin in Athens on Friday.

Despite leading in the first half, Olympiakos went down 87-79 at Red Star Belgrade, but it's still tied with Real Madrid at the top of the table, with a 23-10 record.

The world of sports has often provided us with beautiful fairytale-like biographical accounts. And some of these incredible journeys started in Greece, as though following in the footsteps of Hans Christian Andersen, who traveled to the country in 1841 and wrote about the impressions its colors and landscapes had made on him.

Olympiakos beat Panathinaikos for a 13th time in a row on Friday, as the Reds outplayed their Eternal Rival for the fifth time this season with an 81-73 result on Friday for the Euroleague.

The week after the Greek league derby, that saw Olympiakos edge out Panathinaikos away, ended in both of them losing easily in the Euroleague.

Greek teams traveled well this week in the Euroleague, and while Olympiakos scored a record 10th road win, beating Zalgiris at Kaunas, Panathinaikos registered only its third victory away from home, defeating out-of-form Villeurbanne in France on Thursday.

While Euroleague leader Olympiakos' win over Bayern at home on Thursday was hardly a surprise, the victory Panathinaikos scored against Red Star Belgrade in Athens on Friday was definitely eye-catching, after a long string of six defeats for the Greens.

Panathinaikos came back from 16 points down to beat the Serbs 75-66 for only its ninth win in 28 games.

Olympiakos is staking a claim for the top spot of the regular season's table in the Euroleague after an emphatic triumph over Fenerbahce in Turkey on Tuesday, as Panathinaikos offered its fans more of the same on the road, going down at Real Madrid on Wednesday.

Panathinaikos and Olympiakos employed different ways but still managed to notch up much needed home victories for the Euroleague this week.

PAOK outplayed Panathinaikos in Sunday's crunch game to force the Greens' first home loss and throw the Super League wide open, as AEK has closed the gap from the top to a single point.
