Panathinaikos AKTOR-Efes: Continuation in… Calvary with a must win game at OAKA

by

Without… breath, he continues his duties in the Euroleague Panathinaikos AKTORwho hosts her Anatolou Efes at OAKA for the 20th matchday of the competition (21:15, NovaSports Prime, sport-fm.gr, News Bulletin 247).

The “greens” are coming off a pretty tough win against Pigeon bwin with a score of 90-75, which even left them with a very important injury problem, his Luka Vildosa. The Argentine guard suffered external meniscus tear and he will need to be absent for a significant period of time, which means that the “clover” lacks many solutions in the guards.

Anyway, his team Ergin Ataman has a period with three consecutive home games (Efes, Monaco, Partizan), of which the first is theoretically the most passable, against a team that has certainly not impressed with its presence. The match is a must-win, so the Panathinaikos AKTOR to capitalize on the important away wins he made in the previous period and stay on course for the top six.

In front of them, the “greens” find a group that has also suffered a lot, this one Effects. The Turks have not fared well in the Euroleague, since they are in the 7-12 and the 15th place, while they currently have 6 consecutive defeats. In fact, the last of them was in the historic match of four overtimes with the Realwhich definitely… drained his entire body Erdem Chanwhich is facing quite a few problems anyway.

On the other hand, the way in which Effects rivaled its pioneers Euroleague, showed that he cannot be underestimated. In fact, the Turks took the opportunity to rest a lot of players over the weekend as they defeated Bursaspor 83-73 away from home without using Shane Larkin, Timbor Plais and Eliza Bryant and with him Daniel Oturu to have 30 points and 11 rebounds.

As far as the matches of the two teams are concerned, for the guests, he will not compete Tyreek Joneswho struck against Real, while he will also be out Will Clyburn, who has been injured for some time. On the contrary, he returned to the team’s training sessions after a long time Derek Williswho may return to action against the “greens”.

On the part of Panathinaikos AKTOR, they will certainly not play Louka Vildosa and Ioannis Papapetrouwhile Ergin Ataman expressed his belief that the Kostas Sloukas and Matias Lessor will be available, highlighting: “Slukas was training and Lessor was doing a little training. I believe they will be ready and they must be ready. Because we don’t have Vildosa and we lack 27-30 minutes.”

The refereeing trio of the match will consist of Ilia Belosevic, Carlos Peruga and Gitis Vilius.
