To maintain and expand its positive record in Euroleague will pursue Olympicwho welcomes the Valencia (15/12, 21:15, www.sportfm.gr, News Bulletin 247, Novasports Prime), for the 14th matchday.
After the victory (77-69) over Bayern Munich last weekend, the “red and white” went to 7-6while the same record is held by the “bats”, who count two consecutive victories against Red Star (85-81) and Villerban (78-55).
The last obligation for Olympiakos before Valencia was the Stoiximan Basket League match against Carditsa. The “red and white” were not particularly troubled in the game, winning comfortably 83-54 in Thessaly, but they certainly kept – among other things – its excellent appearance Nikola Milutinov (21 points, 21 rebounds), who seems to be finding a rhythm after his injury.
From here on, the George Bartzokas he has other reasons to smile. And this is because, in the last training session before the match against the Spaniards, he had all the players at his disposal, for the first time this year! Therefore, it is normally calculated Nigel Williams-Gosswho has to fight from the match with Maccabi Tel Avivwhile this time he is expected to make his debut Philip Petrushev. The Serbian forward/center was also in the squad against the Bavarians, but ultimately did not play. The only one who will not be available is, of course, Naz Mitrou-Longwho will have the right to participate in the start of the second round of the Euroleague.
On the other hand, Valencia come to SEF after a tough win for Liga Endesa. He faced away from home Murthywhere although he had the lead for most of the match, it was led to extra time and there Mubru’s team prevailed 85-77. Regarding the competitive part, the “bats” will have significant absences. The Semi Ojeleghe, Xavi Lopez-Arostegui and Jared Harper they are wounded and did not follow the mission. His participation is extremely doubtful Martin Hermansonwho is back in action after a long absence, but is suffering from a virus.
In the meantime, Olympiacos wants to “break” it too Spanish… evil spirit which is bothering him this year. Already, the “red and white” have welcomed them Barcelona, ​​Baskonia and Real Madrid, which left SEF with the victory! Also, Giorgos Bartzokas’ team will seek to prevent a similar trick to last year’s, where Valencia won the “double” in Piraeus.
The referees of the match will be Sreten Radovic (Croatia), Joseph Bisang (France) and Sergio Silva (Portugal).
