After the… pleasant break against LaurelThe Panathinaikos returns to European duties with a very important game.
The “greens” welcome her Baskonia in OAKA (9:15 p.m., NovaSports Prime, bwinSPOR FM 94.6, sport-fm.gr), definitely looking for a victory so that they can recover after the negative start in Euroleague.
The truth is that, after 4 matches, the “clover” is already in quite a difficult position. The 1-3 record is not so heartbreaking, however, the fact that two of the three defeats came in OAKA make the game with Baskonia a must-win.
Indeed, a third home defeat will make things much worse for him very early on Panathinaikos, since these results will need to be replenished later with… doubles, so it is crucial for the “greens” to reach victory. Not only for scoring reasons, of course, but also for psychological reasons.
The positive for his team Ergin Ataman, is that the opponent is an ideal opportunity for… venting. Baskonia has had an equally, if not more, bad start to the season, they too are 1-3, with a difficult win against the bottom Alba, and is going through an internal crisis. THE Juan Peñaroya is presented with one leg outside the group, o Dusko Ivanovic he’s reportedly already agreed as his replacement, so things aren’t looking good for the Basques either.
As far as the competitive news is concerned, Panathinaikos will certainly not have him at their disposal Ioannis Papapetrouwho will be out for some time, but probably also him Lefteri Mandzouka, who is suffering from a virus. Forward options will be limited, so Ataman may emphasize a three-guard formation, or drop Juancho in “3”.
From a side BaskoniaPeniaroja will not be able to count on Nikos Rogavopoulos and the Danny Death due to muscle injuries that prevented them from traveling to Athens, while Tsima Moneke is also doubtful.
The match for the 5th matchday will be directed by Damir Javor (Slovenia), Tomislav Hordov (Croatia) and Maxime Buber (France).
