Olympiacos is looking for a reaction against Maccabi in neutral Belgrade

by

First visit for him Olympic this year in Belgrade, but no for Partizan or Red Star.

Because of the war in Israel, the Maccabi Tel Aviv temporarily moved to the capital of Serbia, where he will welcome the “red and white” (14/11, 21:05, www.sportfm.gr, News Bulletin 247, Novasports Prime) and specifically in the historic “Pionir Hall”, for 8th matchday of the Euroleague.

In the 3-4 is the Piraeus record in the event, while on the other hand the “people’s team” is at 4-2as the match of the 6th round with the Real Madrid, which is set for 11/28. In fact, the two teams met before the start of the year again on neutral ground for the “Andreas Handriotis” tournament in Cyprus. There, the doubles of Greece prevailed 71-68.

Next match in the double week for the “red and whites” against Red Star (16/11, inside) and for the “group of the people” against Fenerbahce (16/11, home).

At the moment, Olympiacos counts two consecutive defeats, both in the details. The first was away from the Fenerbahce with score 79-77 and the second from Baskonia with 75-74, inside the SEF. Before their trip to Belgrade, the “red and white” had obligations for the Stoiximan Basket League. They hosted him at SEF Prometheus of Patraswhom they defeated 92-75. From here on, in yet another match this year, Giorgos Bartzokas will not have all the players at his disposal. Out of the mission remained the Nikola Milutinov and Shaquille McKissick. Instead, he is available again Luke Sikma. The experienced forward has overcome his injury problem and is expected to play. However, he certainly won’t have pace, so his participation will be limited.

On the other hand, Maccabi Tel Aviv has no obligations for the Israeli league, playing only in the Euroleague. At the moment, he is on a two-game winning streak. First, he passed with emphasis 98-90 from Milan against Armani and then in her first home match, which took place in Belgrade, she won 93-90 her Bayern Munich. Good luck to him Odent Katas is that he does not face racing problems. In last weekend’s game, he returned Wade Baldwin, who in his debut this season played 25:25”, having 12 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 6 turnovers. Thus, the Israelis will have a full roster.

The referees of the match will be Robert Lottermoser (Germany), Saulius Racis (Lithuania) and Rein Pieranti (Estonia).
