Olympiacos-Prometheus: For the victory before the derby the “red and whites”, for the miracle the Patrinoi

Back to… domestic for Olympic and Prometheus!

The two teams face each other in SEF (15:45, ERT 3) for the 18th game of the Basket League, after their European matches last week. The “red and white” had an excellent devil’s week in Euroleaguehaving 2/2 against Barcelona and Bayern. Patrini, on the other hand, made a good effort but were beaten in Ankara by the superior Turk Telecom.

THE Olympic is a leader in the Basket League, having a record of 16-0, which he wants to extend in view of the derby “of the ages” next Sunday. THE Prometheuson the other hand, despite his modest start has a record of 10-7, and is fighting a great battle with AEK and Peristeri bwin for a place in the top four of the league.

At home, his team Giorgos Bartzokas last week he was threatened by Colossus of Rhodes, whom he eventually defeated 80-79 thanks to a big shot by Vezenkov. This is not the first time that Olympiacos found it “dark” against a theoretically inferior team, since they had also won Peristeri bwin in the same way. Prometheus also aspires to make it equally difficult for Piraeus, however, having the worst away record with just three wins in eight matches.

Regarding absences, Mr George Bartzokas cannot count on Kostas Sloukas, who suffered a concussion and will not compete in the game. All the rest will be at the disposal of the Greek technician, who will certainly want to rotate ahead of the very demanding week ahead.

The prehistory:

The “red and whites” count only victories in the history of these matches after having made 15/15, regardless of home and Championship phase, against Prometheus. As the host o Olympic last season he scored three “100s” against the Achaean team after the two teams crossed paths in the playoff semifinals while reaching triple-digit points performance in five of the eight SEF games. In the first round game, Olympic he was absolutely dominant as he led by as many as 41 points and finally prevailed with a heavy 100-72.
