AEK-Malaga: Aiming for a victory that equates to a home advantage in the quarter-finals of the BCL, the Union!

A very important game with the goal of victory that will give them the home advantage in the quarter-finals of this year’s Basketball Champions League, tonight (19:30, Cosmote Sport 4, News Bulletin 247, sport-fm.gr) at the Ano Liosion stadium against Malaga AEK!

Basically, it’s about top of the group derby which also includes Galatasaray and Limoges, while whichever of AEK or Malaga wins tonight, will finish in first place and enter the quarter-final playoffs with home advantage.

The Union has a 4-1 record, after their victory over Galatasaray last week secured their qualification. It comes from four consecutive victories in Greece and Europewhile she will also be rested in tonight’s match, since the game against Prometheus, which was to be played last Saturday (18/3), was postponed.

Ilias Kantzouris will not have at his disposal the great unlucky one, Janis Strelniekswho suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon against the Turks, while his participation is doubtful Kenny Williams, who is suffering from a slight contusion. His participation will be decided at the last minute.

As for her Malaga, has the same record as AEK (4-1), but despite the tie, is above them in the standings due to their 88-66 win in the first round matchup. However, they were defeated at home to Galatasaray and will therefore drop to second place should they lose tonight in Liosia.

Last Sunday (20/3) they battled it out, but were eventually beaten 86-81 at home by Barcelona for the ACB championship, and have celebrated just one win in their last four contests. Málaga coach Imbon Navarro will not have the injured player available for tonight’s match Nihad Jedovicwhile o Dario Brithuela traveled to Athens, but his participation is doubtful, since he has not yet fully recovered from the quadriceps injury. On the other hand, 18-year-old Ruben Vitente and 17-year-old Mario San Superi, both internationals with the “small” national teams of Spain, joined the team.
