In “battle” for positions 3-8 will develop 22nd and last matchday of this year’s Basket League regular season.
Olympiacos and Panathinaikos have “locked” 1-2 respectively and based on the results of the last five matches, all of which have a common starting time (15:45), they will be waiting for their opponent in the playoffs.
Initially, a strong match is expected to take place in Ano Liosia, where the AEK welcomes the undefeated “red and white”, who are at 21-0. The match has one-sided scoring interest, since “Union” is at 12-9 and wants to keep hopes of a top four finish alive. However, for this to happen is not entirely in her hands. The first condition is of course the victory over the undefeated Olympiakos and at the same time the defeat of PAOK and Promethea Patras respectively. In the match of the first round, the Piraeus team had won impressively 111-71in SEF.
A strong fight will also take place in the western suburbs. There, the Pigeon bwin welcomes him Panathinaikos. At this moment, the whole of it Vasilis Spanoulis is third on record 13-8with the “greens” having a record 16-5 and to have “locked” second place. After a dramatic game in the first round in OAKA, the “clover” had prevailed with the marginal 72-71, with Marcus Denmon missing a shot in the dying moments of the match. From here on, in the event of a win, Peristeri bwin will finish third. The western suburbs team can finish in the same position even in case of defeat, provided at the same time, AEK was also defeated by Olympiakosas only she is disadvantaged in the event of a tie.
One of the most… relaxed matches of the last match is the one between in Lavrio and Colossus. The Eastern Attica team is in 7-14, which means that he achieved the big goal of staying in this year’s championship, while at the same time he is not able to participate in the playoffs. On the other hand, the Rhodians are at 10-11have “sealed” their presence in the first eight and based on the result it will be determined whether they will finish 7th or 8th.
As in Lavrio, so also in Patras, the confrontation between Apollo and PAOK has a one-sided scoring interest. Nikos Vetoula’s total is at 5-16 and has secured the stay in the category. The “Bicephalus of the North” is fourth with 12-9, but has not yet “locked” this position. PAOK is favored in a three-way tie with Promethea and AEK and in a double tie with Union, but not in such a tie with Yannis Christopoulos’s team.
Finally, in “Nick Galis Hall” Mars will host Prometheus. The “yellows” are in 10-11 and they have hopes for the seventh place, if they win and at the same time the Colossus of Rhodes is defeated. On the other hand, the Patras team is at 12-9 and can finish from 4th to 6th.
