The action in Basketball League continues with a very interesting and… historical game!
Panathinaikos and Maroussi face each other in OAKA (9/10, 20:15, ERT3), something that will happen for the first time since March 2012, the last year the visitors played in the first division, before saying goodbye due to financial problems.
The match is the last of the 1st matchday of the league, with the home team looking for a return to positive results and a good performance, after the coolness with two consecutive defeats in the derby against Olympic. Especially the last defeat, in OAKA, hurt his team a lot psychologically Ergin Atamanwhich is called to… pick up its pieces and concentrate on the very difficult start of the season.
As far as racing is concerned, Panathinaikos he will certainly not have him at his disposal Dino Mitoglou, who is still recovering from the gastrocnemius contusion he suffered. Most likely he will also be left out Ioannis Papapetrou, who also missed the Euroleague derby with a knee problem. Finally, the Ataman will need to “cut” a foreigner from the 7, so that the six can be formed.
On the other hand, for Maroussi it is a historic day of return to the first division. The Northern Suburbs team that stole the show in the 2000s have been through a lot since then, finding themselves playing at the bottom level, but now they’re back in the Basketball League against all odds and aims to establish itself.
Guided by the man who led them to promotion, George Scarafigasand several quality additions such as those of Haris Yiannopoulos, Miroslav Radulica, Stefan Peno and Sakur Justonthe Marousites aspire to show a competitive face against a naturally far superior opponent.
