Back to Euroleague with a difficult away assignment for him Olympic. The “red and white” face the Zalgiris (1/3, 20:00, www.sportfm.gr, News Bulletin 247, Novasports Prime), in Kaunas, for the 27th matchday.
Both had three consecutive wins in the competition, before the break, with his team Giorgos Bartzokas to be in 15-11 and 6th place and hers Andrea Trinchieri in the 11-15 and 13th place. In the first round game at CHEFthe Piraeus prevailed 89-72but then on the edge of the Lithuanian bench he was Kazis Maksvitis.
From there, Olympiacos went to the break for the qualifiers of the national teams… smiling. And that’s because, he won the second trophy of the season, after the Super Cup the summer. In particular, the team of Giorgos Bartzokas reached a triumph in Final 8 of the Cup in Heraklion, Crete. Within three days, the “red and white” overcame their obstacles Pigeon bwin (87-68) and Prometheus of Patras (91-77), while in the grand final they dominated Panathinaikou AKTORwinning 69-58 and celebrating winning the cup.
However, completely opposite to the spiritual part is the competitive part for Olympiakos. The “red and white” traveled to Kaunas without three regional players and of course him Nikola Milutinov, who still needs a few weeks to return to action. Except, also, for the team of Piraeus are the Giannoulis Larentzakis, Nigel Williams-Goss and Naz Mitrou-Long.
On the other hand, Zalgiris also went to the break with a cup. Like Olympiacos, the Kaunas team also won the Cup in Lithuania, winning 86-70 her Lietkampelis, in the final of the Final Four. In the meantime, Andrea Trinchieri also has racing problems. The international guard will definitely be absent Dovidas Giedraitiswhile the participation of the international center will be decided at the last moment, Laurinas Biroutis.
Of course, the stadium is expected to be fullas Zalgiris has announced the sold out of the specific match from January 29!
The referees of the match will be Ilija Belosevic (Serbia), Milan Nedovic (Slovenia) and Alberto Baena (Spain).
