Devil’s week… more about him Panathinaikos AKTORwhich confronts the Zalgiris in Kaunas for its 25th matchday Euroleague (20:00, NovaSports Prime, sport-fm.gr, News Bulletin 247).
The “greens” are coming off an easy 79-62 win over the Armani Milan, during which they proved that they can win in many ways. Although his team’s attack Ergin Ataman it didn’t work well, he was able through the defense to keep the Italians very low and get a pink card without… breaking a sweat, very important in the middle of a double week.
Now, the “clover” is invited to cope with a very difficult venue, the “Zalgirio Arena”. The good news for him Panathinaikos ACTORis that this year he has learned to win and away from it OAKA, having 5 “doubles” in 11 matches away from home. Needless to say, with a possible new victory, the “greens” will further strengthen their chances for a place in the top four, having next week a crucial match against Fenerbahce to OAKA so that they are consolidated.
On the other hand, Zalgiris she certainly hasn’t convinced so far with her performances in the EuroLeague. The Lithuanian team is 15th with 9-15 recordrisking being out of the running for the 10. However, the Lithuanians are certainly not an opponent to be underestimated, especially at home, although even there this year they have a negative record (5-6). We must not forget, after all, that in the first match of OAKA, Zalgiris almost left with a pink card (73-71). The last sample of his set Andrea Trinchieri however, it was “terrifying”, since it broke her up Effects by a score of 96-70, leading Erdem Chan to the… layoff.
Regarding the matches of the two teams, Panathinaikos AKTOR went to Kaunas without him Kostas Sloukas. Luka Vildosa and Olek Balcerovski they are normally in the squad, however the second one was in the 12 and against Armani but did not play. It remains to be seen if he will get playing time this time, which is also true for him Ioannis Papapetrou. For Lithuanians, there are no absences and no problems.
