At the “Mercedes-Benz Arena”, which will host this year’s Final Fourthe Piraeus will seek to close 2023 with a positive record, since they are currently in 8-8. On the other hand, the Germans are quite far from the playoffs zone, since they are penultimate with a record 3-13. A very special match for the now… red and white Luke Sikmaas he returns to the place that has been his home for the previous six years (2017-23).
In the previous matchday of the Euroleague, Olympiacos visited France and Lyon, for the match against Villerban. The “red and white” performed a convincing performance and, dominating against ASVEL, prevailed with the comfortable 85-73. His team played at the same… speed Giorgos Bartzokas and in the Stoiximan Basket League match against Apollo of Patraswhom he easily defeated 84-65.
From then on, as far as the competitive part is concerned, the Piraeus traveled fully to Berlin. They are normally expected to compete Mustafa Fal and Isaiah Kanan, who took a breather in the recent championship game. Out of mission was left Naz Mitrou-Longwho for the last time has no right to participate in the Euroleague, as well as the George Papas and George Tanoulis.
In contrast, Alba are rested as they had no league commitments over the weekend. Her last game was the one for the previous EuroLeague matchday, where she experienced defeat 91-82 inside her court from the Fenerbahce. However, the whole of it Israel Gondhaleth bets a lot on his home ground, as there he has won the three victories he has this year in the tournament, specifically against Armani Milano, Zalgiris and the biggest… so far against Barcelona. The Germans have no major problems and are expected to line up in full.
The referees of the match will be Tomislav Hordov (Croatia), Milos Koliensic (Montenegro) and Kristaps Konstantinovs (Latvia).
