Saturday (03/02) begins with two interesting games 17th matchday her Stoiximan Basket League.
Initially, in the cloister of Kallithea in Rhodes, the Colossus welcomes her AEK Betsson (16:00). On the one hand, the Rhodians come from a defeat in Thessaloniki by PAOK, but their appearance was quite convincing. The hosts are at 6-10 and know that with a possible victory they stay alive for six, catching the “yellow and black”.
On the other hand, the Union made a good appearance the previous matchday and won it Carditsabut suffered its first defeat in his era in midweek Ilias Zourowith a score of 79-68 from the Hapoel Holon. AEK Betsson definitely wants to react and get the pink card in order to press firmly on the top six, but also to gain psychology ahead of the “final” with Murcia for the BCL.
The day’s program concludes at “Palataki”, where Mr PAOK will welcome him Apollo of Patras (17:15). The “two-headed man of the north” lost hands down to him Olympic despite the multiple absences of the “red and whites”, while the Patrinos also come from two heavy hand defeats Colossus and Panathinaikou AKTOR.
In view of this confrontation, Mr Justin Alston of PAOK stated: “It is a difficult and important game for us and we will have to be very focused and go out on the pitch to do what we have to do. We also have two new players in our team, it makes sense that they need time, but we are all here to make it easier for them to adapt and I definitely think that they can help us to win and play better. With the same team I also made my PAOK debut in the first round game and I want to have the same result in this game as well. I think I know what it takes to win and certainly we all know what we have to do in this game.”
