Basket League: Olympiacos-PAOK in SEF, difficult match for AEK Betsson in the formed Karditsa

With 4 very interesting matches action returns to Stoiximan Basket Leagueas the 16th matchday starts on Saturday (27/01).

The program starts at Carditsawhere the local team hosts the AEK Betsson on “Yiannis Bourousis” (17:15, ERT3). Thessaly’s four consecutive victories and five in total in this year’s six home games have placed the team in Nikos Papanikolopoulos on an upward trajectory, while on the other hand the “yellow and black” come from 3 consecutive defeats in the championship and now have the Ilias Zouro on their bench, definitely looking for a reaction.

We remind that the AEK Betsson has a record 6-9 and is tied with Kolossos Rhodes in 7th place, risking losing the “train” of the top six and staying in the play-outs of the third round. Of course, this does not mean that he misses the train for the playoffsbut can condemn it to a low ranking and crossing with Olympiakos or Panathinaikos AKTOR from the first round.

The action continues at 18:00, when the Laurel welcomes him Prometheus of Patras (ERT SPORTS 1). The hosts count 4 consecutive defeats and are now in trouble in the standings, while the Patrinos come from the great European victory over AEK Betsson and enjoy a place in the top four, being the absolute favorite to prevail.

At 19:00 (ERT SPORTS 2), the also interesting match between them takes place Pigeon bwin and his Amarousiou. The team of Vassilis Spanoulis has restored its place in the top four and wants to continue the good period it is going through in the league, at the same time making a reaction after the defeat by Hapoel Jerusalem for the BCL. The Maroussion the other hand, counts two consecutive defeats and wants to return to positive results, so as to ensure the best possible placement.

Finally, in the best match of the day, o Olympic hosts at SEF the PAOK (20:15, ERT3). The “red and white” come from defeats with Panathinaikos ACTOR and the Real Madrid, having at the same time significant injury problems (Milutinov, Fal out, Larentzakis, Gos doubtful) and the need for psychology in view of the “devil’s week” of the Euroleague. On the other hand, PAOK defeated Lavrio by fire and iron in the previous one, and goes without Michalis Tsairelis to Piraeus knowing that a great overpass will be needed.
