London Lions-Prometheus: Double to keep Patrinoi on course for the top four

The return to positive results is being sought by Prometheus.

The Patrini experienced two consecutive defeats in objectively very difficult games against Turk Telecom and Olympiacos, and now they return to the more… “passable” matches, as they face the London Lions (21:30, NovaSports Prime) for the 16th matchday of its groups Eurocup.

Yannis Christopoulos’ team is at 9-6 and tied with Paris and Buduchost in fourth place in the group, wanting to push for the top four and home advantage. THE London Lionson the other hand, is in 7th place and has a record of 7-8, but has 9 consecutive wins in all competitions and is going through its best stretch of the season.

The specific match is also very important in terms of points, as with a victory Prometheus will increase its distance from the seventh place and will now be able to feel quite secure about its presence in the top six, aiming only… higher. However, recent history is not on his side, as in the match of the first round the English team had left with the “double” from Patras with a score of 77-67.

Regarding absences, Mr Yannis Christopoulos it is expected that he will not have them available again Niko Gika and Travis Simpsonwho are facing an injury problem and did not play against Olympiacos either.

We remind you that in London Lions also competes Kostas Koufoswhile the top player of the team is the former NBA player Sam Decker. The Londoners, in fact, have strengthened in relation to the match of the first round, obtaining the decisive Taylor Jordan.
