Back to action for Panathinaikos.
The “greens” did not compete in the league against Colossus due to the bad weather, and turn to tonight’s difficult game with the Valencia at OAKA (10/2, 21:00, NovaSports Prime).
THE Panathinaikos coming off a disappointing “devil’s week” where they suffered two defeats in as many matches against Baskonia and Real Madridaspiring to return not only to victories, but also to good performances.
THE Valenciaon the other hand, fared significantly better last week, comfortably beating at home Bayern and lost by just one point to Israel from Maccabiagain leaving very positive samples.
The Spaniards are 12-11 and fighting for the top eight, so the 8-15 “greens” know they have a very difficult task, even if they are playing at home. Nevertheless, away from home o Panathinaikos had lost 94-91 in overtime, so he has shown that he can compete with her Valencia.
In the matches, both teams will probably be caught. THE Valenciaon the one hand, it will not have at its disposal Bojan Dubljevic and Xavi Lopez-Arostegui, while the long-term injured will also be absent Martin Hermanson and Sam Van Rossom.
The “greens”, on the other hand, have significantly fewer problems, however they will probably line up without the injured Mateus Ponitka, who has seen his condition improve but will hardly be able to make it to this match.
In the positive news for him Dejan Radonicis how he will have the newcomers at his disposal Dimitris Agravanis and Matt Thomas, who will make their debut in green. The Greek forward was supposed to “save” against Kolossos, but the match was canceled, while the American has not yet been declared in the Basket League, so for now he will only be used in the Euroleague. The presence of these two gives more solutions to the Montenegrin coach, who will have more solutions in view of the difficult continuation.
