AEK Betsson-Panathinaikos AKTOR: Rehearsal ahead of Final 8 in Liosia

The 18th matchday of the Stoiximan Basket League ends with a derby.

THE AEK Betsson welcomes him Panathinaikos ACTOR at the Ano Liosion stadium (8:15 p.m., ΕΟΤ3, sport-fm.gr, News Bulletin 247), in a match… a rehearsal for this two teams a few days later, in the context of the quarter-finals of the Final 8 Cup (15/02).

Union, for their part, are going through a pretty bad time, as they have just one win in all competitions with Ilias Zouro on her bench. In the previous game, he suffered a heavy defeat with 103-80 by the Colossus of Rhodeswhile in midweek he failed to do so at home against Murthy, essentially losing significant ground for qualifying for the BCL quarterfinals. The “yellow and black” are now very much in danger of being out of the top six of the league, so they urgently need wins and… excesses, like the one they are asked to do with the “greens”.

On the other hand, Mr Panathinaikos AKTOR overcame negative results with Zalgiris and Aris, performing well against Lantern and getting a great victory with a score of 74-63, through which he got a big boost for the Euroleague top four. The “greens” now have a big “must” in all league matches, since if the defeat against Aris is combined with one more, it is possible to completely change the data for the home advantage. At the same time, data o Ergin Ataman he will also want to give some breaths, since very soon the big goal of the Cup will be judged.

As far as the matches of the two teams are concerned, except for the home team, the Dimitris Flionis and Mindaugas Kuzminskaswhile doubtful is the Justin Tillman, who has some discomfort and may be protected by Ilias Zouros ahead of the Cup. From the point of view of the “clover”, it will be difficult for him to compete Kostas Sloukasas Ataman does not want to risk forcing him before the Cup, while the Turkish coach will be asked to cut one of the 7 foreigners.
