by

Another step for the home advantage in the playoffs is what he wants to do Olympic.

The “red and white” welcome to SEF the Bayern Munich (9/3, 21:00, www.sportfm.gr, News Bulletin 247, Novasports Prime), for its 28th matchday Euroleague.

At the top with a record 19-8 is the Piraeus team, while on the other hand the Bavarians are far from the top eight, since they are in 15th place with 11-16. In the match of the first round, Olympiacos won 82-71within Germany.

The “devil’s week” started perfectly for his team Giorgos Bartzokas. After the collapse in Milan against Armani and the difficult victory in Rhodes against Kolossos for the Basket League, Olympiacos gave an excellent performance in the packed SEF against Barcelona.

With a “weapon” of their defense and a steep rise in performance from the second quarter onwards, the “red and white” won 77-70 the “blaugrana”. A victory that on the one hand brought them back alone at the top of the Euroleague and at the same time he kept them firmly at bay, so that they would have home advantage in the playoffs. The other very positive thing about Giorgos Bartzokas is how does not face racing problems and thus he will have all the players at his disposal.

On the other hand, it also started with a victory Bayern in the double week. His team Andrea Trinchieri hosted her Villerban in Munich. The performance of the Bavarians was not impressive, but they managed to bend the resistance of ASVEL, prevailing 76-72. Of course, they know that with the record they have, they can’t chase much, so they mainly play for prestige.

From there, problems are not lacking for Bayern. Except they are Augustin Rubit and Elias Harriswhile his participation is doubtful Vladimir Lucic, who has missed the last few matches due to back problems. On the contrary, it is possible that the newly acquired American tall will make his debut, Gillan Cheetham.

The referees of the match will be Sreten Radovic (Croatia), Matej Bolthauser (Slovenia) and Maxime Buber (France).
