I know that I'm in a bad run and have been unlucky by losing basketball games by a couple of points. Yet I have to strive to get back to form!

Something like a last stand here. Can't see such a huge difference between the two teams. While Khimki has some world class players like Delfino and Garbajosa especially the former has not been at his best. In Greece Panellinios lost due to too many turnovers, however I don't expect this to be the case tonight. Also we have to take into account that Panellinios didn't have a game during the weekend. Since Khimki is unlikely to qualify for the next round maybe we could have a surprise here.

I expect to receive hate mail from Olympiakos fans.

Olympiakos has problems in scoring goals. They don't really have any other decent attacker except Diogo so they got a loan signing from Blackburn Matt Derbyshire who isn't really likely to make an impact. They play with a 4-5-1 and right midfielder/winger Galetti has been instrumental for the team scoring lots of goals this season. Olympiakos though has definitely a problem in scoring goals against teams with a defensive approach however the officials provide a helping hand in Greece. This is unlikely to happen in an UEFA game though.

St. Etienne will defend and try to grab a 0-0 draw and I think it's pretty likely. For Olympiakos a very good player will be missing (Leto) along with other players who aren't really influential.

Well Dynamo Moscow has financial problems and were forced to release Jannero Pargo and Hollis Price. Both of them were guards and Travis Hansen (another great player) and Sergey Bykov play more minutes per game now. Maroussi will be without Diamantopoulos (and two other fringe players who would probably be DNP even if they got to travel to Moscow) however Maroussi has many players in every position who might not considered to be Euroleague level but are very good for Eurocup. Since Maroussi has 9 players who could be starters they can get to tire their opponents who only have 7 good quality players left in their team. So a win is not unlikely here.
